Sandalwood Peacock Motif Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree

A handwoven Katan silk Banarasi saree in a refined sandalwood palette, carrying peacock motifs in thread-by-thread Kadhua across the body. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari, each peacock built into the weave with its own weft. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. A peacock motif worked in Kadhua is a small feat of placement — the body, plume and tail must align across every repeat, and any drift would show across the length of the drape. That discipline is what makes Banarasi a luxury textile: time, planning and a weaver who refuses to hurry the weft. 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 Drapes beautifully in a Nivi style. Pair with antique-gold or polki jewellery and a deep rust or maroon raw-silk blouse to anchor the sandalwood palette.
