About this Saree
About the Ebony Rayon Chikankari Palazzo Set
The interplay of shadow and light has always been central to the beauty of Lucknowi Chikankari. Traditionally rendered on sheer, light fabrics, the craft takes on an entirely new, modern dimension when transposed onto a deep, opaque Midnight Black ground. The white cotton thread work ceases to be just a subtle texture and instead becomes a bold architectural statement. Every pull of the needle, every Ulti Bakhiya shadow stitch, and every delicate Phanda knot stands out in sharp, unapologetic relief against the deep black fabric. This high-contrast aesthetic preserves all the intricate geometry and fluid floral poetry of traditional Awadhi craft while transforming it into a contemporary silhouette that transitions effortlessly from daytime elegance to evening sophistication.
On this premium, heavy-weight Rayon fabric, the handwork achieves an immaculate drape and structural poise. Cheaper, flimsy rayons tend to pucker under the weight of dense hand-embroidery, disrupting the garment's silhouette. This premium grade Rayon, however, carries the heavy, full-panel Chikankari embroidery with effortless grace. It flows smoothly over the body, giving the straight-cut kurta a sharp, tailored line and allowing the wide-leg palazzo to swing beautifully with every step. The matte finish of the black Rayon serves as a quiet, absorbing backdrop, absorbing light so that the pristine white threadwork appears sharper, richer, and more definition-heavy than it ever could on a lesser fabric. It is a striking complete set that offers the drama of formal wear with the absolute, unrestrictive comfort of a daily staple.

Black Rayon Chikankari Palazzo Set — 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.
