Purple Floral Jaal Pure Katan Silk Banarasi x Hand Embroidery

From the workshops of Varanasi comes this Purple Floral Jaal Pure Katan Silk Banarasi x Hand Embroidery in Purple — curated by Palkhe by Palkhi Sarees, Mumbai's most trusted name in handcrafted Indian weaves since 1991. A piece that honours the living traditions of India's finest weavers.

Banarasi silk emerges from the ancient weaving workshops of Varanasi — a city where the art of the loom is as old as the Ganges herself. Characterised by its intricate zari work, brocade patterns, and a supple, heavy drape, Banarasi silk has adorned Indian brides for centuries and carries a GI tag as a mark of its authenticity.

The Floral Jaal running through this piece is a weave pattern of remarkable intricacy — a design that requires exceptional skill to execute and creates a visual effect that is entirely distinctive. Broad heavy border and pallu.

Zardozi — the imperial embroidery of Mughal courts — is worked entirely by hand using heavy gold and silver threads, metal sequins, and precious stones. A single Zardozi piece can take weeks to complete, each motif built up in layers of metalwork that creates a raised, three-dimensional effect of extraordinary richness.
