Dark Purple Katan Silk Saree — Kadwa Booti

About This Saree

This is a Dark Purple Katan Silk Banarasi Saree (SKU 9042) with a Booti pattern woven using the prestigious Kadwa technique. It is handwoven in Varanasi by skilled heritage weavers who have been practising this craft for generations.

Katan Silk is a tightly twisted, pure mulberry silk. It gives the saree a firm body, a clean, structured drape, and a natural, majestic sheen. It is recognized as one of the finest and most resilient silks used in traditional Banarasi weaving.

Booti is one of the most cherished motif traditions in Banarasi heritage weaving. Small, individual motifs—flowers, buds, leaves, or geometric forms—are scattered across the body of the saree in a graceful, rhythmic arrangement, each woven with extraordinary precision in fine gold or silver zari threads. On a rich Dark Purple base—deep, imperial, and full of life—the zari Booti pattern resonates with an enchanting warmth and grandeur. Dark Purple has long been one of the most regal and sophisticated colours in Indian textile tradition, and on a Katan Silk ground, it takes on a depth and luminosity that is entirely its own. The Kadwa weave ensures every booti is cleanly cut and individually woven—meaning there are no loose threads on the reverse, resulting in sharp edges and a finish that endures for decades.
