A cream Banarasi saree in tussar silk, carrying kuniya corner-motif at the anchal with thread-by-thread butti across the body, with the Kadhua & Kuniya discipline visible in every passage of the drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Kadhua across the body and a Kuniya corner at the anchal: two of the slower Banarasi disciplines, both demanding placement that the loom does not forgive. The Kuniya alone takes its own day at the loom — the precision of that single corner is the whole reason the technique exists.
Styling Note
Drape in a Nivi drape so the border and the anchal carry the eye. Pair with antique-gold or gold jewellery and a cream or contrast deep-jewel 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.
