Chikankari Short Kurta with Dhoti Set for Women
About this Saree
About the Dhoti Kurta Set
The dhoti is one of the oldest and most graceful garment forms in the Indian textile tradition — a length of fabric that drapes rather than stitches, that falls in soft folds rather than being cut to a fixed shape, that carries its elegance in the way it moves rather than in the way it is constructed. In women's fashion, the dhoti silhouette has had a quiet, enduring presence — worn for festive occasions, for celebrations, for any moment when a woman wants to look both traditional and completely of her time. Paired with a short kurta in the same fabric, the dhoti becomes a complete outfit — modern in its proportions, traditional in its spirit, and deeply connected to the craft heritage of the city it comes from.
On premium Rayon, the Chikankari Short Kurta with Dhoti Set achieves everything this combination promises. The Rayon gives the dhoti its proper drape — soft enough to fall in smooth folds, fluid enough to move easily, and light enough that the full set feels effortless to wear even through a long festive day. The Chikankari handwork on the kurta is worked across the yoke, chest, and hem with the precision and patience that genuine Lucknow hand embroidery demands — each floral and vine motif placed by hand, stitch by stitch, by artisans who carry this craft as a living tradition. The dhoti carries a fine Chikankari border along its edge — tying the two pieces together into a set that is clearly designed as a whole rather than assembled from parts. Wear it to a wedding, a mehndi, an Eid gathering, or any celebration where you want to arrive looking like you understood exactly what the occasion required.

Chikankari Short Kurta with Dhoti Set 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.
