Green Kadhua Motif Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree

A emerald green Banarasi saree in pure silk, carrying Kadhua butti woven in both gold and silver zari, scattered evenly across the field. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border runs the length of the drape with a steady, unbroken rhythm. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Kadhua weaving forces the loom to slow down — each motif demands its own shuttle pass, and the weaver pauses between butti to switch threads. A composition that reads simply across the body is, in fact, a sum of hundreds of small disciplined acts at the pit loom. That is why no two Kadhua sarees emerge identical, and why the textile carries the weight of the time it took to make. The drape carries a second weave: Ektara. Where Kadhua gives the piece its precision, Ektara gives it its hand — softer, flowier, with a deeper gloss and an easier hand to drape. Styling Note A Nivi drape carries this composition best — the pallu placed long over the shoulder so the border reads in full down the front. Pair with polki, kundan or antique gold jewellery to echo the zari, and a tonal emerald raw silk or contrast antique-gold tissue blouse to keep the focus on the weave. Weave
