A handwoven Banarasi Kora silk saree in marigold yellow, with thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs drawn across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the Kora ground throws the resham and gold work forward in light. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Yellow is a colour that asks the zari to sit gently — too forward and the gold reads dim, too quiet and the cloth loses its weight. Kadhua delivers the precise middle: every motif built thread by thread, with the weft considered against the warmth of the ground. The luxury of the drape is in that balance, which the loom cannot be hurried into.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi-style with the pallu pleated narrow so the motif scatter reads. Pair with classic gold or temple jewellery and a contrast green, maroon or ivory 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.
