A handwoven Munga silk Banarasi saree in a warm brown, with Kadhua butti drawn across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, framed by an intricate Banarasi border and closed with an anchor motif at the anchal. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kadhua takes its time. Each motif carries its own weft, so the weaver picks one shape at a time and locks it into the body of the cloth. The loom hours pile up, and the textile holds them as visible discipline — the basis of its luxury, and the reason no two pieces emerge identical.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi to let the warm brown read evenly. Pair with antique-gold or temple jewellery — earthy tones take both. A rust, gold or cream raw silk blouse keeps the saree at the centre.

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.
