A handwoven Satin silk Banarasi saree in pink with an orange pallu, thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs drawn over the body and the anchal carrying the contrast through to the drop. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the gold catching cleanly against the warm two-tone ground. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A satin-faced Kadhua holds light differently from a Katan one — the ground reads low and even, and the gold motifs sit on it as a separate layer. The weaver works the colour shift between body and pallu during dressing of the loom; it is not added after.
Styling Note
A Nivi drape lets the orange pallu spread freely across the shoulder. Style with chand bali or jhumkis in antique gold; the two-tone ground sits warmer with old-gold than yellow gold. A tonal coral or pink silk blouse keeps the focus on the weave.

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.
