A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk saree in soft beige, charmed by delicate Kadhua guldasta motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — a gorgeous intricate border closes the body, finishing in an elaborate aanchal of equal weight. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The piece comes from Kashi, the heritage city of Banarasi weaving, where master weavers have refined this craft over generations. The Kadhua tradition builds every guldasta motif into the cloth thread by thread, and the Ektara pairing adds the softness in hand that makes the drape comfortable to wear. The luxury here is the cumulative skill of two weaves working in tandem.
The Ektara weave gives this drape its hand — softer, flowier, with more gloss and an easier hand to drape than a pure Kadhua piece.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully Nivi or Bengali style. Pair with classic gold or kundan, a contrast cream-blush or pista-green blouse, and minimal hair to let the guldasta read.

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.
