Yellow Cotton Kadhua Motif Banarasi Handloom Saree

A handwoven Banarasi cotton saree in a warm yellow, with Kadhua butti laid out across the body and a Dampaj structure giving the cloth its lightness in the hand. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, framed by an intricate Banarasi border. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. A Banarasi in cotton is a quieter version of the same patience. Kadhua still demands its motif-by-motif weft, and the cotton ground asks the weaver to handle the zari with even more care — heavier metal on a lighter fibre. The result is a luxury summer textile that reads as soft and considered. Styling Note Drape Nivi or a soft Bengali fall — cotton settles into pleats more easily than silk. Pair with antique-gold or temple jewellery; small jhumkas are enough. A cream, white or ochre handloom blouse extends the palette.
