Lighter than Katan silk, it drapes with an airy elegance that makes it especially prized for summer weddings and festive occasions.What is Tilfi Meenakari?Tilfi (also called Tanchoi Meenakari) is one of the most intricate colour-weaving techniques in Banarasi tradition — three or more coloured silk threads are woven simultaneously into the zari motifs on the handloom, creating a jewel-like, painterly effect that cannot be replicated by printing or embroidery.OccasionsPerfect for weddings, receptions, engagement ceremonies, festive celebrations, and any occasion that calls for extraordinary Indian luxury.Care Instructions Dry clean only Store wrapped in muslin cloth Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods Do not wring or machine wash Each saree is handwoven and may have slight variations — a mark of authentic handloom craftsmanship.
