A vivid purple Banarasi silk saree drawn over with diagonal aada stripes of floral jaal in silver zari. The vines of bloom run rhythmically across the body, each stripe carrying a continuous chain of small zari flowers and leaves that catch the light in waves.
The pallu opens onto a wider muted-gold zari panel — a denser version of the floral aada finished with a horizontal banded border. The lower border of the saree carries an arched paisley motif worked in silver zari, framing the drape on every edge with quiet polish.
Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom, the aada layout is one of the more difficult Banarasi compositions to execute — every diagonal motif must align across the panels as the saree comes off the loom, and that placement discipline is what gives the piece its sense of movement.
Styling Note
Wears beautifully in the Nivi drape with the pallu pleated wide to show the muted-gold aada panel, or in the Gujarati style to bring the pallu to the front. Pair with temple or polki jewellery and a deep purple or contrast-gold 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.
