A deep navy Banarasi silk saree set with meenakari buti motifs — small floral bouquets worked in soft pink and pale yellow on a muted gold zari ground. The butis sit in measured placement across the body, each bloom held in fine resham detailing that lifts cleanly off the indigo silk.
The pallu carries a wide gold zari panel of elongated jaali cartouches set in floral scrollwork, finished with a heavier border of leaf-and-vine motifs that runs along the lower hem. The contrast of polished silver against the dark body is what gives this saree its quiet richness.
Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom, the meenakari detailing here is the heart of the piece — each coloured detail is woven into the cloth, not embroidered on, and that is what carries the weight of the craft.
Styling Note
Wears beautifully in the Nivi drape with the pallu pleated wide so the gold zari panel reads as the focal point, or in the Bengali style for a fuller pallu. Pair with antique-gold or kundan jewellery and a deep navy or contrast-pink blouse to set off the meenakari.
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.
