About this Saree
Chikankari is the soul of Lucknow — a craft so deeply woven into the identity of the city that to wear it is to carry a piece of that identity with you. And within the world of Chikankari, Aari work holds a very special place. The aari is a fine hooked needle — slender, precise, and demanding of a steady hand and a trained eye. The artisan pulls thread through fabric in continuous chain stitches, building floral motifs and vine patterns stitch by stitch, each line of embroidery a small act of skill and patience. Aari work has a richness and a raised texture that other Chikankari techniques do not produce — the embroidery sits on the fabric with a presence and depth that makes every motif feel three-dimensional, alive, and completely handmade.
On premium Rayon, Aari Chikankari work drapes and breathes in a way that makes this kurta as comfortable as it is beautiful. The fabric is soft against the skin, light enough for all-day wear, and smooth enough to let every stitch of the Aari embroidery stand out clearly. The yoke, sleeves, and hem of this kurta carry fine floral and vine Chikankari motifs — worked with the precision and care that only genuine hand embroidery from Lucknow's artisan community can deliver. The straight cut silhouette keeps the design clean and modern while the Chikankari work roots it firmly in tradition. A kurta you can wear to a family function, a festive gathering, or simply on a day when you want to feel effortlessly well dressed.

Chikankari Aari Embroidered Straight Kurta for Women — 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.
