About this Saree
About the Noori Kashmiri Daman Kurti
Noori is the collection for women who understand that the finest things are always in the details. The name itself — Noori, meaning luminous, radiant, filled with light — speaks to what this collection is about. Not loudness. Not obvious decoration. But the kind of beauty that comes from exceptional fabric, exceptional handwork, and the kind of considered design that knows exactly where to place its richness and where to let the fabric breathe. Every piece in the Noori collection is made on premium fabric — softer, smoother, and more luxurious than standard Chikankari base cloths — and worked by the most skilled artisans in Lucknow's Chikankari community.
The Kashmiri Daman Kurti is one of the most distinctive pieces in the Noori collection. The word daman means hem or border in Urdu — and in this kurti, the daman is everything. The full hem of the kurti carries a wide, richly worked Kashmiri border — dense paisley and floral motifs drawn from the Kashmiri design vocabulary, embroidered in Chikankari thread with the layered complexity and the interior detail that Kashmiri motifs demand. The border runs the full circumference of the hem, making the fall of this kurti one of the most beautiful things about it — every step reveals the full Kashmiri Daman in motion. Above the daman, the body of the kurti carries delicate Chikankari floral handwork across the yoke and chest — lighter and more open than the daman, giving the eye a place to rest before the hem announces itself. On premium Modal, the whole kurti — the handwork, the daman, the silhouette — comes together with a softness and a drape that makes it as comfortable as it is extraordinary.

Noori Modal Kashmiri Daman Chikankari Kurt — 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.
