Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Flower Booti

Dark Purple Katan with Kadwa Flowers
SKU-11187

Deep purple has a quiet drama, rich enough for evenings yet calm enough for daytime pujas. This Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Flower Booti is decorated with kadwa flower bootis, small flowers woven one at a time into a smooth katan base. It is one of the kadwa pieces at The Panaya, Kamalya Textiles' Varanasi brand. Light, rich and easy to wear, it suits evening functions, festive dinners and family celebrations.

The Fabric: Katan Silk

Katan is the classic Banarasi base: pure silk woven from twisted yarn, smooth to the touch and gently lustrous. At just 422 g, this saree is wonderfully light, so its deep colour never feels heavy to wear. The katan sheen gives the purple a soft glow in both daylight and lamplight.

The Craftsmanship: Kadwa Flower Booti

One easy way to recognise kadwa is to turn the saree over. In cutwork, the back shows trimmed thread ends between motifs; in kadwa, each motif is woven separately within its own outline, so the reverse is clean and every flower is firmly secured. That is why kadwa takes longer and is valued more. On this saree, the technique is used for delicate flower bootis spread across the body.

Design & Colour Story

This purple is deep and saturated, the sort of shade that looks dignified at any age. The small flower bootis add a gentle pattern without competing with the colour, so the saree reads as rich and refined rather than busy. Discover more deep tones in our Banarasi sarees collection.

Occasion & Styling Guide

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: A graceful choice for an evening wedding, a reception or a sangeet. Pair it with antique gold or polki jewellery and a sleek low bun.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Diwali, Durga Puja or Karva Chauth, dark purple looks rich in warm light. Add gold jhumkas, a few bangles and a deep plum lip.
