Magenta Shikargah Pure Silk Handloom Banarasi Saree
type: Product
description: A densely woven Banarsi silk saree in deep magenta, drawn over end to end with a shikargah jaal — a continuous vine of flowering blooms threaded through with elephants, deer, lions and birds, each figure caught mid-stride within the foliage. The motifs, anchal and border are all woven in zari — silver zari across the body, with a warmer gold-toned zari running through the border, which carries the same animal-and-flower procession along both edges. The anchal closes in fine zari striping above a knotted fringe. Handwoven in Varanasi on a traditional pit loom. Shikargah is the most demanding of the Banarsi vocabularies: the weaver is not repeating one motif but placing a whole populated landscape, animal by animal, across five and a half metres without ever losing the rhythm of the vine that carries them. At this density the loom moves slowly — about forty-two days for a single piece — and every figure has to be counted into the warp before it can surface on the cloth. That accumulation of time is what separates a Banarsi from a printed textile, and why no two shikargah drapes come off the loom quite alike. Styling Note Drapes best in the classic Nivi style, where the jaal reads continuously down the pleats and the animal border stays visible along the hem. Antique-gold or temple jewellery sits comfortably against the silver zari without competing with it, and polki or uncut-stone pieces work equally well. A deep magenta or aubergine blouse in raw silk keeps the eye on the weave, while an antique-gold brocade blouse picks up the border instead.
