About the Rajwadi Banarasi Mulberry Silk Suit
In the hierarchy of pure silks, Mulberry silk—locally known in Banaras as Katan—reigns completely absolute. It is the purest form of natural silk, created by twisting two fine, resilient silk threads together to form a warp and weft of incredible strength, crisp structure, and a mirror-like smoothness. For centuries, this fabric was the exclusive choice of the royal Mughal courts because of the way it holds saturated organic dyes. It doesn't just display color; it amplifies it. Under festive lights, the Imperial Fuchsia Pink of this suit set shifts through a magnificent spectrum of tones, presenting a rich visual density that cheaper silk blends or synthetic polyesters can never replicate.
What sets this piece completely apart is the demanding Kadhua (or Kadwa) weaving technique used to create the motifs. While ordinary brocades use continuous machine threads that stretch across the back of the cloth, each buti on this Mulberry silk suit is engraved individually by hand onto the loom. The artisan locks the weft thread for each individual flower before moving to the next. This slow, disciplined process ensures that every single gold motif stands out in sharp, three-dimensional relief on the front, while leaving the back completely clean, smooth, and entirely free of irritating loose wires. Combined with delicate Minakari enamel-style color accents within the gold thread, this unstitched suit material is a piece of living history—built to be stitched into a regal silhouette and passed down through generations.

Banarasi Mulberry Silk Suit — About This Weave
The Banarasi Organza Saree represents one of the lightest and most ethereal forms of Banarasi weaving. Organza — a sheer, tightly woven fabric — takes on a new dimension when worked with traditional Banarasi gold zari techniques on a pit loom. The result is a saree that is simultaneously delicate and opulent.
The Aqua Mist colourway is achieved through natural yarn dyeing before weaving — meaning the colour is embedded into the silk threads themselves, not printed or dyed on the surface. This gives the saree its characteristic depth and sheen, and ensures the colour retains its vibrancy through careful washing and storage.
At Ekaasam, every Organza Banarasi Saree is sourced directly from weaver families in Varanasi, cutting out middlemen and ensuring fair wages for artisans. When you purchase from Ekaasam, you directly support the preservation of a 500-year-old weaving tradition.
