A handwoven Banarasi kora silk saree in ivory beige, drawn over with a mesmerising floral jaal in Kadhua across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate zari border closes the body, finishing in a meenadar aanchal where coloured silk threads enamel the zari in fine, jewel-like detail. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A Jangla on kora is among the more demanding compositions on the loom — every flower in the jaal is built into the cloth thread by thread in Kadhua, and the sheer ground means there is nowhere for the placement to hide. The textile is a luxury because every weft has to land cleanly.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully Nivi or Lehenga style with the pallu fanned wide to read the jaal. Pair with classic gold or polki, a contrast ivory or pale-emerald blouse, and minimal hair to let the floral work read clean.

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.

Every Stuti Weaves saree is woven to a standard width of 44–46 inches.
