{"product_id":"magenta-shikargah-banarsi-katan-silk-saree-sku-2027060801","title":"Magenta Shikargah Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree","description":"\u003cp\u003eA densely woven Banarsi silk saree in deep magenta, drawn over end to end with a shikargah jaal — a continuous vine of flowering blooms threaded through with elephants, deer, lions and birds, each figure caught mid-stride within the foliage. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — silver zari across the body, with a warmer gold-toned zari running through the border, which carries the same animal-and-flower procession along both edges. The anchal closes in fine zari striping above a knotted fringe. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShikargah is the most demanding of the Banarsi vocabularies: the weaver is not repeating one motif but placing a whole populated landscape, animal by animal, across five and a half metres without ever losing the rhythm of the vine that carries them. At this density the loom moves slowly — about forty-two days for a single piece — and every figure has to be counted into the warp before it can surface on the cloth. That accumulation of time is what separates a Banarsi from a printed textile, and why no two shikargah drapes come off the loom quite alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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\n\u003cp\u003eDrapes best in the classic Nivi style, where the jaal reads continuously down the pleats and the animal border stays visible along the hem. Antique-gold or temple jewellery sits comfortably against the silver zari without competing with it, and polki or uncut-stone pieces work equally well. A deep magenta or aubergine blouse in raw silk keeps the eye on the weave, while an antique-gold brocade blouse picks up the border instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 1.8em 0; font-family: inherit;\"\u003e\n\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;\"\u003eShikargah Brocade- Tanchoi\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;\"\u003eMotif\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eShikargah — flowering vine with elephants, deer, lions and birds\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;\"\u003eZari\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eGold zari across the body, gold-toned zari through border and anchal\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;\"\u003eBorder \u0026amp; Anchal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eWide animal-and-flower border on both edges; anchal in fine zari striping above a knotted fringe\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;\"\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eDeep Magenta\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;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eKatan 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;\"\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; border-bottom: 1px solid #e5dccb; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003e5.5 m saree with 1 m unstitched 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;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding: 12px 0; color: #2d2d2d; vertical-align: top;\"\u003eHandwoven in Varanasi\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\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.
