Dark Purple Katan with a Broad Red Border
SKU-11450

Sometimes the most striking sarees are the simplest. This Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Plain Red Broad Border keeps the body plain and puts the drama into a broad red border, with kadwa weaving in a classic, confident design that never dates. It comes from the katan collection at The Panaya, Kamalya Textiles' Varanasi brand. A saree for women who appreciate clean lines and bold contrast, it suits weddings, pujas and festive evenings.

The Fabric: Katan Silk

A plain body lets the fabric speak, and katan has plenty to say: its twisted silk yarn gives a smooth, even surface and a natural sheen that deepens the purple. At 588 g, the saree has a comfortable weight and a graceful fall, with the broad border adding a little structure at the edge.

The Craftsmanship: Plain Body & Broad Red Border

With no motifs on the body, the broad red border becomes the focus of the design. Plain-body sarees with a contrast border are a long-loved Indian classic, valued for their simplicity and versatility. The saree is made with Kadwa, Red Broad Border: the Banarasi technique in which each pattern element is woven individually rather than thrown across the width and cut, giving a clean, durable finish. Discover our full range of kadwa weaves in the Kadwa Banarasi sarees collection. To see how the border looks against the purple, send us a WhatsApp message or book a video call.

Design & Colour Story

Dark purple and red are a bold, regal pairing, rich and warm with a touch of drama. With the body left plain, the colour contrast does all the work, so the saree makes an impression at first glance. It is an easy saree to style and a timeless one to own. Discover more contrast-border sarees in our Banarasi sarees collection.

Occasion & Styling Guide

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: A strong choice for wedding rituals, a reception or the bride's family. Pair it with a red blouse, a statement gold choker and a sleek bun for a bold, traditional look.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Durga Puja, Diwali or Karva Chauth, purple and red look rich and auspicious. Add a big bindi and temple jhumkas.
• Traditional Family Gatherings: Because the body is plain, it is easy to restyle: wear it to a family puja with simple studs, or dress it up for an anniversary with layered gold.
