Dark Maroon Raw Silk Banarasi Saree – Antique Zari Booti Border

Deep Maroon Raw Silk in Antique Zari
SKU-11276

Dark maroon is the kind of colour that never needs to try hard: rich, warm and always appropriate. This Dark Maroon Raw Silk Banarasi Saree – Antique Zari Booti Border is woven with an antique zari booti and border, so the motifs and the edge share the same soft, old-gold glow. It is offered by The Panaya, a Varanasi brand from Kamalya Textiles. With the texture of raw silk and the warmth of antique zari, it is a saree for weddings, pujas and festive gatherings where you want a classic look.

The Fabric: Raw Silk

Raw silk keeps some of the natural character of the silk thread, giving the fabric a gently nubby texture, a firm hand and a mellow sheen rather than a high gloss. At 698 g, this saree has a steady, comfortable weight that drapes with structure and holds its pleats. More pieces in this fabric are waiting in our Banarasi raw silk sarees collection.

The Craftsmanship: Antique Zari Booti & Border

Small bootis are repeated across the body, and a border frames the drape, both woven in Antique Zari. This zari has a dulled, aged finish, so instead of a bright shine it carries the soft glow of heirloom gold. Against dark maroon, it looks especially rich and traditional. For other colours and weaves, see our Banarasi sarees collection. If you'd like to see the zari tone in natural light, WhatsApp us or book a video call.

Design & Colour Story

Dark maroon is deep, warm and timeless, a shade that sits between red and brown and suits almost every Indian occasion. The antique zari complements it without competing, and the raw silk texture adds quiet depth. It is a mature, graceful colour story, the kind that will look just as good years from now.

Occasion & Styling Guide

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: A beautiful choice for wedding rituals, a reception or the bride's family on the wedding day. Pair it with a layered antique gold necklace, a nath and a sleek centre-parted bun.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Karva Chauth, Chhath or Diwali, dark maroon looks auspicious and rich. Add a sindoor-red lip and a pair of gold kadas.
• Traditional Family Gatherings: For an anniversary, a family puja or a milestone birthday, pair it with a contrast blouse in mustard, bottle green or gold.
