A handwoven Banarasi Kora silk saree in clean white, carrying thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs across the body and a Kuniya corner-motif that closes the pallu. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
White is the most honest ground a Banarasi loom can be asked for — the zari, the silk and the placement all stand exposed, with nothing to hide behind. The Kuniya corner and the Kadhua buti are precisely the disciplines that earn that exposure: every motif placed, every loom hour visible in the cloth.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi-style with the pallu fanned wide so the Kuniya corner reads. Pair with classic gold or polki, and a tonal ivory or deep contrast emerald, ruby or navy 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.
