Banarasi Kora Cotton Ektara Kadwa Jaal Handwoven Saree in Warm Khaki

Warm khaki is an unusual ground for a Banarasi jangla and precisely the right one. The earthy tone makes the multicolour meenakari silk read with a warmth that a white or ivory ground cannot give. Across the full body, scrolling stems carry large blooms in pink, orange, peach, and green silk, the jangla continuous and dense from edge to border. The scale of the motifs is generous, the colours sitting against the khaki with the quality of something naturally grown rather than woven. Cotton keeps the jangla breathable and light. The ektara technique places each supplementary silk weft individually into the ground, building up the meenakari colours thread by thread. A narrow red salaidar stripe border closes the piece. A saree for warm-weather festive occasions and anyone who wears colour with confidence. Free shipping across India and worldwide. Suited to daytime weddings, festive lunches and elegant celebrations — pairs well with ruby, coral or polki jewellery. Video
