Navy Blue Leaf Motif Handloom Banarasi Silk Saree

A navy blue Banarasi silk saree drawn over with Kadhua leaf motifs that sit in their own pools of weft across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with the leaf pattern picking up along the anchal and border. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. The weft of every motif is cut and lifted by hand in Kadhua — the reason a single leaf can hold a weaver for hours and a full saree for weeks. The pattern reads clean because each shape was placed individually; no shortcut, no embroidery overlay. Styling Note Drape Nivi for a clean front display. Pair with antique-gold or polki — navy and warm gold are a classic pairing. A mustard, gold or ivory raw silk blouse keeps the focus on the leaf placement.
