Green

This opulent masterpiece is hand-woven on a base of high-density Pure Katan Silk, featuring an 'All-Over' (Jangla style) brocade that defines the pinnacle of Banarasi artistry. The entire body is covered in a rhythmic, interlocking pattern of floral and geometric motifs rendered in premium antique gold zari, creating a fabric that is as much a piece of jewelry as it is a garment. The vibrant lime green silk peeks through the golden lattice, providing a modern, high-fashion contrast to the traditional weave. The ensemble is anchored by a heavy, wide zari pallu and reinforced borders that ensure the structured, regal fall characteristic of heritage Katan silk.
