A dusty-rose Banarasi saree in pure Katan silk, drawn over with scattered Buta motifs that hold the field in a quiet, even rhythm. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border running a steady line of small Butas and the anchal carrying a fuller cluster at the edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
The Buta is one of the oldest motifs in the Banarasi vocabulary, and a Kadhua Buta saree is a study in placement discipline — every motif lifted on its own weft, every gap counted, the back of the cloth left clean. That is what gives a piece like this its luxury: the weave time cannot be hurried, and no two emerge identical from the loom.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape lets the Butas read across the pleats. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a deep-mauve, ivory or olive raw-silk blouse.

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.
