Almond Kora Silk Saree — Kadwa Meena Booti

About This Saree

This is an Almond Kora Silk Banarasi Saree (SKU 9702) featuring intricate Meena Bootis woven using the rigorous Kadwa technique. It is masterfully hand-loomed in Varanasi by senior artisans specializing in complex color-inlay handloom work on sheer canvases.

Kora Silk, traditionally known as pure Banarasi Organza, is spun from raw, un-degummed mulberry silk yarns. Preserving the natural silk gum gives the fabric its signature translucent clarity, featherlight breathability, and a crisp, springy body that holds a voluminous, high-fashion drape effortlessly through long daytime events.

The ornamentation on this piece showcases the absolute pinnacle of delicate Banarasi detailing. Rather than standard monochromatic zari motifs, this saree features Meena Bootis. Using the ancient Minakari technique, weavers manually interlock multi-colored silk resham threads alongside fine metallic zari within each floral blossom, creating a vibrant, enamel-like jewel effect. Because this is executed on a sheer Almond canvas using the demanding Kadwa method, every single multi-colored motif is individually hand-knotted. The reverse side of the saree is flawlessly clean and entirely free of loose threads, ensuring the transparency of the Kora silk remains immaculate, lightweight, and completely snag-free.
