The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the shikargah carrying its narrative across the body and into the anchal, with a steady Banarasi border along the edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShikargah is the most narrative of Banarasi compositions — the loom card must hold figures and animals and the foliage that surrounds them, and each element is built into the cloth thread by thread. A shikargah is woven slowly, deliberately, and is one of the most demanding things a Banarasi weaver can take on. The detail you see is what hours of patience look like, set into silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:2.2em 0 0.5em; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.05em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.85em;\"\u003eStyling Note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrape in a classic Nivi style to let the shikargah read down the body, or in a Bengali drape to bring the anchal forward over both shoulders so the scene reads clearly across the front. Pair with antique-gold or polki — temple jhumkas with a slim choker, a polki haar, or a chand-bali. A tonal ivory or contrasting maroon raw-silk blouse both work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; margin:1.8em 0; font-family:inherit;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eWeave\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eKadhua with Jangla and Shikargah\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eMotif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eShikargah — figures, animals and scrolling vines in continuous Jangla layout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eZari\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eWoven in zari throughout\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eBorder \u0026amp; Anchal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eSteady Banarasi border framing the drape; anchal carries the shikargah narrative forward with an anchor motif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eA beautiful shade of ivory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eLustrous pure silk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; border-bottom:1px solid #e5dccb; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003e5.5 metres saree with 1 metre blouse piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 24px 12px 0; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.04em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.82em; vertical-align:top; width:32%;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 0; color:#2D2D2D; vertical-align:top;\"\u003eHandwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin:2.2em 0 0.5em; font-weight:500; color:#5C3A1E; letter-spacing:0.05em; text-transform:uppercase; font-size:0.85em;\"\u003eCaring for Your Handloom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic; color:#6b6b6b; margin:0 0 1em;\"\u003eA handloom saree is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter wearing, allow the saree to settle gently.
