A handwoven Katan silk Banarasi saree in rose pink, carrying a soft check across the body with thread-by-thread Kadhua buttis set inside the squares. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the check holding the field while the buttis punctuate it at measured intervals. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A woven check is one of the harder Banarasi grounds — the vertical and horizontal lines must hold tension across the length of the warp, with no drift in spacing. Add Kadhua buttis inside each square and the composition becomes a quiet test of discipline: the placement must read evenly from pallu to pallu, with no shortcut.
Styling Note
Drapes well in a Nivi style. Pair with polki or antique-gold jewellery and a soft ivory or blush 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.

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