A handwoven Banarasi Pure Katan Silk saree in emerald green, with a Chinar Jangla of scrolling vines and florals that runs through the body without pause. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border carries a continuous pattern that frames the drape on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kadhua is among the most patient of Banarasi techniques — each motif is built into the cloth with its own weft, never embroidered on after. The weaver carries dozens of small shuttles across a single pick, switching between them as the design demands. A single saree of this kind can take weeks at the pit loom, and the patience required is precisely what gives Banarasi its weight and its glow.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape carries this composition best — the pallu placed long over the shoulder so the border reads in full down the front. Pair with polki, kundan or antique gold jewellery to echo the zari, and a tonal green raw silk or contrast antique-gold tissue blouse to keep the focus on the weave.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom saree is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the saree to settle gently. Dry clean only, so the weave, colour, and zari remain protected. When storing, wrap it in a soft muslin cloth and keep it in a dry place. Zari is delicate and responds to changes in weather; the muslin helps the textile breathe while keeping the weave stable.
Avoid spraying perfume directly onto the saree, as fragrance and alcohol can affect the fabric and zari. Every few months, open it out and let it air naturally for a while — a small ritual that allows the weave to breathe and helps the saree stay beautiful for years.
