A soft pink Banarasi saree in pure Katan silk, drawn over with a continuous floral jaal in the Chinar Jangla layout that runs from selvedge to selvedge. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — vine and bloom build across the body in an unbroken composition. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom.
A Jangla layout is unforgiving. The continuous vine and bloom has to flow without break across the full body of the saree, which means every weft has to align across hundreds of inches — and on a hand loom, that alignment is the work of weeks. The intricacy is what makes the cloth rare.
Styling Note
Drape in Nivi for a clean front display of the jaal, or open the pallu for a fuller view. Pair with kundan or polki — soft pink takes both. A deeper rose or tonal-pink raw 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.
