A reverent tribute to the artistry of a bygone era, this saree is woven with extraordinary precision. An intricate homage to vintage Persian design, it bears a kadwa jaaldaar pattern, meticulously crafted and infused with a stunning array of over 15 colours in resham.
-
Colour: A ravishing shot colour of Maroon-Red
-
Fabric: Soft as butter, pure Katan silk
-
Technique: The Kadhua technique is an intricate and labor-intensive process where each motif is hand-woven separately, creating a distinct and elevated pattern. Unlike other weaving methods, the technique requires more time on the handloom, as the weaver carefully interlaces each thread, ensuring that the design is independent of the fabric’s base weave. The separate weaving of motifs allows for a greater level of precision and complexity in design, with each motif standing out vividly, with an almost embossed texture. The addition of Meenakari further enhances the allure of this weave. Meenakari, the painstaking process of incorporating supplementary coloured resham threads into the weave, adds a burst of colour to the already intricate pattern, infusing the fabric with a rich interplay of hues.
-
Speciality: The intricate craftsmanship of weaving this real zari Jaaldaar saree of exceptional complexity demands the synchronized efforts of two highly skilled artisans, working in perfect harmony. Over 2.5 months, they create just three inches of textile per day, embodying the meticulous nature of this labor of love. Each line of weaving involves up to 80 precise sirkis—individual hand movements to delicately insert extra weft yarns of 15 meenakari colours, which form the elaborate patterns. A painstaking process, marked by precision and patience, resulting in a timeless masterpiece.

Note - The saree comes with its own blouse piece. The model is wearing a separate blouse for styling purposes.
Since this product is handwoven, there might be slight irregularities. But don't you think these add to the singular charm of a handloom beauty?
