Handwoven Banarasi Katan Silk Zari Tanchoi Saree in Rani Pink

A rani pink katan silk saree handwoven in Varanasi in the zari tanchoi technique, the body laid out in a chequered jaal — alternating plain and floral-brocade squares worked in gold zari across the vivid pink ground. The pallu end carries a patola-style geometric band, finished with a fine zari border. Tanchoi is among the finest of Banarasi weaves — multiple weft threads woven into a smooth, satin-like surface with no floats on the reverse, giving the saree its weight and sheen. The chequerboard layout makes for a striking, contemporary take on a classic weave. Suited to weddings, receptions and festive occasions — pairs well with emerald, jade or uncut diamond jewellery.   Video of the Saree
