Chikankari Handwork Rayon Straight Kurta for Women
About this Saree
About the Handwork Rayon Kurta
Chikankari is not a pattern — it is a practice. It is the daily work of thousands of artisans in Lucknow who sit with fabric stretched across their lap and needle in hand, pulling thread through cloth one stitch at a time, building floral motifs and leaf forms out of nothing but patience, skill, and a tradition that has been passed from teacher to student in this city for over four hundred years. Every piece of genuine Chikankari carries within it the hours of that practice — the time it took, the hands that worked it, the knowledge that no machine can replicate what a trained artisan produces when working in the Lucknow tradition.
On premium Rayon, Chikankari handwork drapes and moves in a way that makes this kurta as wearable as it is beautiful. Rayon has a softness and a fluid quality that makes it one of the most comfortable fabrics for everyday and festive wear alike — it sits lightly on the body, breathes easily, and carries the Chikankari embroidery with a smoothness that allows every motif to stand out clearly against the fabric ground. The floral and leaf Chikankari motifs on this kurta are worked across the yoke, chest, and hem with the care and consistency that only genuine hand embroidery delivers — no two pieces exactly the same, because no two pieces are made by exactly the same hands. The straight cut keeps the silhouette versatile and easy to style. The Chikankari handwork makes it unmistakably Lucknow.

Chikankari Handwork Rayon 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.
