A handwoven Banarasi Kora silk saree in deep saffron, carrying thread-by-thread Kadhua motifs in the Virsa tradition across the body, with a Kuniya corner-motif closing the pallu. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — an intricate Banarasi border frames the drape on every edge. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
Virsa is the heritage-line of Banarasi composition — patterns drawn from older naqshas, paced into the cloth motif by motif. On Kora silk, the saffron carries the gold work with particular warmth; the Kuniya corner is its own day at the loom, and the luxury of the drape is in that unhurried precision.
Styling Note
Drape Nivi or Bengali-style with the pallu fanned wide so the Kuniya corner reads. Pair with gold or temple jewellery and a tonal saffron, deep maroon or contrast ivory raw-silk blouse.

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.
