{"product_id":"rakhtambari-matsya-buti-pure-zari-silk-saree","title":"Rakhtambari Matsya Buti Pure Zari Silk Saree","description":"\u003cp\u003eA handwoven Banarasi Katan silk saree in rakhtambari — a deep, blood-warm red — its field drawn over with fine matsya butis (fish motifs) woven thread by thread across the drape. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, the matsya vocabulary running evenly into the anchal and held along the edges by a steady Banarasi border. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMatsya butis are among the more particular Kadhua motifs to set on a loom — the small fish need to read clean and identical down the length, and any drift in placement shows immediately. That kind of demand is exactly what makes a Banarasi a luxury textile: the weave will not forgive shortcuts, so the cloth carries only what the weaver has built thread by thread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drape carries a second weave: Ektara. Where Kadhua gives the piece its precision, Ektara gives it its hand — softer, flowier, with a deeper gloss and an easier hand to drape.\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 for vertical fall, or in a Gujarati drape to display the anchal at the front of the body.
