Handwoven Banarasi Katan Silk Zari Tanchoi Saree in Wine Purple

A wine purple katan silk saree handwoven in Varanasi in the zari tanchoi technique, with a fine all-over floral jaal worked in tonal zari across the body. The pallu opens into a broad zari panel of ogee-lattice florals, edged with a fine zigzag border that catches the light against the deep ground. Tanchoi is one of the most refined Banarasi weaves — multiple weft threads woven into a smooth, satin-like surface with no floats on the reverse, giving the saree its characteristic sheen and weight. The result is a piece that reads understated up close yet luminous from across a room. Suited to weddings, receptions and festive occasions — pairs well with gold, polki or uncut diamond jewellery.
