Midnight Blue Mashru Silk Kadhuwa Saree

About the Midnight Blue Mashru Silk Kadhuwa Saree

Midnight Blue captures the depth of the night sky — calm, rich, and endlessly elegant. On Mashru Silk, this shade takes on an almost celestial glow, as the fabric’s luminous surface reflects light from within. Woven across this deep blue base is the legendary Kadhuwa technique, one of the most intricate and prestigious forms of Banarasi craftsmanship, making these Banarasi Sarees truly exceptional.

Kadhuwa is not like other Banarasi weaving. In most Banarasi sarees the extra threads that create the motifs float loosely on the reverse of the fabric between one motif and the next. In Kadhuwa weaving there are no floating threads — each motif is woven individually, with the extra threads cut and finished at every single motif. The reverse of a Kadhuwa saree is as clean as its face. This is what makes Kadhuwa the most labour-intensive and most prestigious weave in Varanasi — and also what gives Kadhuwa motifs their extraordinary sharpness and definition. The body of this saree carries dense Kadhuwa floral and jaal motifs across the midnight blue Mashru ground — each motif precise, clean-edged, and jewel-like in its finish. Running along both sides is a wide layered gold zari border — bold and deeply worked. The pallu is the crowning piece — a grand Kadhuwa floral medallion surrounded by dense gold zari work and a layered border frame that makes the fall of this saree one of the most spectacular in the Ekaasam collection. Some sarees are worn. This one is carried.
