A handwoven Katan silk Banarasi saree in peacock blue, carrying Kadhua floral motifs across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the wide floral border runs the length of the drape and frames the field on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Floral Kadhua on a Katan ground is one of the more demanding Banarasi compositions: the petals and stems must stay even across every repeat and any drift would show against the deep peacock ground. That careful placement, sustained across weeks at the loom, is what gives the piece its precision.
Styling Note
Drapes beautifully in a Nivi style. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a contrast gold or rust raw-silk blouse to lift the peacock palette.

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.
