A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk saree in magenta pink, drawn over with thread-by-thread Kadhua floral motifs across the body and finished with a contrast blue floral border. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border carries a flowering pattern that frames the drape on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Magenta pink is one of the most arresting grounds Banarasi works with — it asks the zari to do less, not more, and that restraint is what the Kadhua tradition delivers. Every floral is built into the cloth thread by thread, with its own weft; the luxury of the drape is in the placement, the weight, and the unhurried hand of the loom.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi-style with the pallu fanned wide so the floral border carries the line. Pair with kundan or polki and a deep-blue or ivory raw-silk blouse to pick up the border contrast.

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.
