Pure Katan Silk Shikargah Brocade Banarasi Saree in Royal Red

The Hunt of Royals, Woven in Silk

Draped in the legacy of Banaras, this exquisite Pure Katan Silk saree in deep royal red is a masterpiece born from centuries of weaving tradition. Every inch of this saree tells a story — the timeless story of the Shikargah, the royal hunting ground, immortalised thread by thread in shimmering gold brocade.

The Fabric
Woven from pure Katan silk — the finest, tightest weave in the Banarasi canon — this saree carries that signature crisp elegance and weightless drape that no other fabric can replicate. Katan silk catches light with a quiet luminosity, giving the red its deep, jewel-like richness.

The Weave
The Shikargah pattern — literally meaning “hunting ground” — is one of the most prized and regal motifs in Banarasi heritage. Across the body of this saree, you’ll find a lush tableau of trees, deer, elephants, birds, and foliage woven in intricate zari brocade, evoking the grandeur of Mughal-era royal forests. No two motifs are identical; each is a hand-crafted expression of the weaver’s artistry.

The Colour
Royal Red — bold, auspicious, and deeply feminine. In Indian culture, red is the colour of celebration, bridal grace, and power. This particular shade carries both warmth and depth, making it as breathtaking under candlelight as it is in golden sunshine.

The Blouse Piece
Comes with a matching Katan silk blouse piece, brocade-woven to complement the saree’s border detailing.

Occasions
Weddings · Bridal Trousseau · Festive Celebrations · Anniversary · Sangeet & Ceremonial Events

Care
Dry clean only. Store wrapped in soft muslin to preserve the zari’s natural sheen.

Why This Saree?
This is not just a saree — it is an heirloom. A Shikargah Banarasi in pure Katan silk is a piece that grandmothers pass down to daughters, and daughters pass down to daughters of their own. When you wear this, you wear Banaras itself.
