Handloom Katan Silk Shikara Saree

Color: Persian Blue

Fabric: Pure Katan Silk

Weave/Technique: Kadhwa Shikargah Weave

Design: The Handloom Katan Silk Shikara Saree is a masterpiece born from the heart of Banaras’ most cherished weaving traditions. Crafted in the exquisite Kadhwa Shikargah technique, this saree depicts an elaborate world of nature, animals, and storytelling motifs—each woven individually by master artisans. The royal blue body forms a rich canvas for the shimmering gold zari, creating a beautiful interplay of depth and detail.

Every motif—floral vines, animals, and delicate butis—is woven using the age-old Kadhwa method, where each figure is inserted separately into the weave. This not only adds durability but gives the saree that distinctive clarity and raised texture that only true handloom can achieve.

A timeless heirloom and a testament to Banaras’ generational artistry, the Shikara Saree is one that gets passed down—cherished, preserved, and celebrated through every generation.

Speciality: The Shikargah weave is one of Banaras’ most revered storytelling weaves, traditionally found only in the trousseaus of royal and noble families. Crafted entirely by hand, this saree requires immense precision and expertise, making it a rare and valuable addition to any collection.

Blouse: Comes with a plain blouse piece in the base royal blue, elevated with zari-woven sleeves to perfectly complement the intricate beauty of the saree.

• Dry clean only
• Store the garment in a dry environment, as zari reacts to changing weather
• Air the textile occasionally
• Avoid direct contact of perfumes or ittar with the fabric
