A handwoven Banarasi Katan silk saree in deep maroon, designed in the exquisite Chinar Jangla style — beautiful florals with buds spread across the body, set into the silk by hand. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, with badla zari (zari made from pure metal without a core thread) lending the work its particular depth. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Chinar is among the most expressive of the Jangla compositions — the flowers carry their own weight against the maroon ground. Layered with Kadhua and the badla zari technique, this piece reads as something between fabric and sculpture; every motif takes its own loom hour. The luxury of a Chinar Jangla in badla is the cumulative skill: technique on technique, all built into the single textile. Styling Note Drapes beautifully Nivi-style with the pallu fanned wide. Pair with polki or temple-style gold, an antique-gold choker, and a contrast ivory or deep-green blouse to anchor the maroon.
