Sandalwood Kadhua Meenadar Georgette Silk Handloom Dupatta
In a refined sandalwood beige palette, this Banarasi dupatta in Georgette Silk carries Kadhua motifs enamelled in Meenadar — coloured silk meenakari sitting alongside zari. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border runs along both ends in a continuous pattern. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A Meenadar weave layers coloured resham over the zari motif, working each colour change pick by pick on the loom. That layered approach is what gives Meenadar its jewel-like quality — the motifs read as enamelled rather than printed, and the colour stays in the cloth as a part of the weave rather than sitting on its surface.
Styling Note
The dupatta is best draped over a kurta or lehenga set, with the border allowed to fall along the front. Pair with antique gold or temple jewellery and a tonal beige or deep maroon raw silk kurta so the weave leads the eye.

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