Silver zari on purple is the modern way to wear a Banarasi — cooler and more contemporary than the usual gold. This pure Banarasi Katan silk saree pairs a regal purple body with silver zari work and a rich zari pallu, and comes with a blouse piece.
Katan is the pure twisted silk Banaras reserves for its better sarees; it holds firm, so the pleats stand and the drape has structure. The silver zari against deep purple gives it presence for a wedding or reception without leaning on gold. Total length 6.3 metres including the blouse.
