Pink Meenadar Tanchoi Pure Silk Handloom Banarsi Fabric Thaan
A handwoven Banarasi fabric thaan in pink — meenakari motifs in coloured silk and zari, drawn over a smooth, weight-bearing field of katan silk. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Tanchoi gives the field its dense satin ground; Meenadar enamels the motifs in coloured silk alongside the zari. Together they form one of the most jewel-like Banarasi compositions on the loom — the colour is woven in, not printed, which is why it holds its depth over time.
Styling Note
This thaan is best read as a piece of cloth in waiting — tailored as a blouse, kurta or panelled lehenga. Pair the finished garment with polki or gold jewellery, and consider the matching pink yardage with deep-rose piping as the lining or contrast to let the weave lead.

Caring for Your Handloom
A handloom fabric is not just worn — it is preserved, rested, and cared for over time.
After wearing, allow the fabric 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 fabric, 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 fabric stay beautiful for years.
