Red Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Bird Booti Shikargah Border

Classic Red Katan with a Shikargah Border
SKU-11910

Red is the heart of Indian celebration, and this saree pairs it with one of Banaras's most storied designs. The Red Katan Silk Banarasi Saree – Kadwa Bird Booti Shikargah Border features kadwa bird bootis across the body and a shikargah border, a traditional hunting-scene design with roots in the Mughal era. It joins our collection at The Panaya, the Varanasi house of Kamalya Textiles. A saree with real heritage, it is made for weddings, pujas and grand family occasions.

The Fabric: Katan Silk

Katan's tightly twisted silk yarn produces a close, firm weave, which is ideal for detailed borders like the shikargah. At 559 g, this saree is light yet substantial, and the natural sheen of katan makes the red look deep and vibrant. Explore more drapes in our Banarasi katan silk sarees collection.

The Craftsmanship: Kadwa Bird Booti & Shikargah Border

Shikargah means hunting ground, and the shikargah design traditionally shows scenes from the hunt, with animals, birds and foliage woven into a lively band. Here that storytelling runs along the border, while the body carries small bird bootis. The bootis are woven in Kadwa, Shikargah Border, each bird built individually within its own outline, a slow technique that keeps every motif secure and neat.

Design & Colour Story

This is a true, festive red, the shade most Indian brides and festivals turn to first. The bird bootis keep the body light and graceful, while the shikargah border adds depth and a sense of history. Together they make a saree that feels ceremonial in the best way. Find more reds and other shades in our Banarasi sarees collection.

Occasion & Styling Guide

• Wedding & Pre-Wedding Ceremonies: Perfect for the bride's family on the wedding day, a sagan ceremony or a newly-wed's first Karva Chauth. Pair it with a kundan or temple set, a maang tikka and red-and-gold bangles.
• Festive Celebrations & Puja: For Durga Puja, Diwali or Navratri, red katan feels just right. Add a big red bindi and gold jhumkas, and let the shikargah border take the spotlight.
• Traditional Family Gatherings: For a havan, an anniversary or a family wedding function, wear it with a gold blouse and a simple bun so the border can shine.
