Pure Kora Silk Banarasi Saree | Ivory White Kadhwa Kairi Buta | Sona Rupa Zari & Tilfi Meenakari Floral Border | KATAN BANARAS

Draped in the legacy of Banaras, this exquisite Pure Kora Silk Kadhwa Buta Saree is woven entirely on traditional handlooms by master weavers of Varanasi. Every delicate kairi buta, every petal of the vibrant meenakari border — hand-interlaced with sona rupa (gold-silver) zari and tilfi coloured silk threads, thread by thread, on a pristine ivory white ground.

Colour & Design

• Colour: Ivory White — pure, luminous, and timelessly bridal, with a crisp sheer texture from the kora silk weave
• Body Weave: Scattered Kadhwa kairi (mango) and floral butis in silver-white sona rupa zari evenly spaced across the entire body
• Border: Wide multicolour tilfi meenakari floral garden border — full-bloom daisies, chrysanthemums, and wildflowers in pink, teal, maroon, yellow, and purple with gold-silver zari, finished with a fine gold stripe edge
• Pallu: Mirrors the dense meenakari floral garden border — rich, colourful, and beautifully structured
• Blouse Piece: Contrasting lemon yellow with self-stripe zari weave
• Technique: Kadhwa — each buta individually woven on the handloom without a shuttle; Tilfi Meenakari — multiple coloured silk threads woven simultaneously into the zari motifs
• Zari: Real sona rupa (gold + silver) zari woven directly into the silk — not printed or embroidered

Why Pure Kora Silk?

Kora silk is woven from raw, untwisted silk threads, giving it a distinctive crisp, organza-like texture with a natural sheen. Lighter than Katan silk, it drapes with an airy elegance that makes it especially prized for summer weddings and festive occasions.

What is Kadhwa Weaving?

Kadhwa is the most intricate and time-consuming technique in Banarasi weaving — each motif is individually woven by hand without a flying shuttle, requiring master weavers to work thread by thread. A single Kadhwa saree can take weeks to complete, making it a true heirloom piece.

Occasions

Perfect for weddings, receptions, engagement ceremonies, mehendi functions, and any occasion that calls for pure, refined Indian luxury.
