About this Saree
About the Katan Kashis Saree
Kashis is another name for Varanasi — the city of light, the city of the Ganga, the city that has been weaving silk for over five centuries. To name a saree Katan Kashis is to name it after the city and the fabric that made each other famous. And this saree honours that name in the most distinctive way possible — not with gold zari, which every Banarasi saree carries, but with silver. Real silver zari. On pure Katan Silk. Against deep indigo. It is a combination that Varanasi's master weavers have known about for centuries and that the wider world is only beginning to rediscover.
Silver zari on Katan Silk is a completely different visual experience from gold. Where gold is warm, celebratory, and bold, silver is cool, precise, and quietly extraordinary. Against deep indigo Katan Silk, real silver zari achieves a luminosity that stops you — the cool shimmer of silver against the deep cool blue of indigo creates a harmony that is unlike anything in the warm-colour Banarasi palette. The body of this saree carries classic floral and jaal motifs in real silver zari across the full deep indigo Katan ground — each motif sharp, cool, and jewel-like. Running along both sides is a wide silver zari border — refined, distinctive, and completely its own thing. The pallu is the Kashis at its grandest — a large traditional floral medallion in silver zari, dense silver work all around, and a layered border frame that makes the fall of this saree shine like moonlight on the Ganga. This is Varanasi. This is silver. This is Katan Kashis.

Pure Banarasi Handloom Katan Silk Saree with Silver Zari — Katan Kashis — 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.
