Royal Blue Kadhua Shikargah Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree

A royal blue Banarasi saree in pure silk, carrying a Shikargah composition of figures, vines and florals laid across the body in continuous Jangla rhythm. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — the border runs the length of the drape with a steady, unbroken rhythm. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Weaving a Jangla is a study in restraint: the loom must hold a continuous floral rhythm across the entire body of the cloth, with no breaks where the cartoon repeats. That kind of continuity is hand-counted across thousands of picks, and the patience it asks of the loomsman is precisely why a true Jangla is read as one of the most luxurious Banarasi compositions. Styling Note A Nivi drape carries this composition best — the pallu placed long over the shoulder so the border reads in full down the front. Pair with polki, kundan or antique gold jewellery to echo the zari, and a matching royal blue raw silk or contrast antique-gold tissue blouse to keep the focus on the weave.
