Nilgiri Green Banarasi Silk saree

The Nilgiri Green Banarasi Silk Saree takes inspiration from the deep, forested green of the Nilgiri hills and brings it to one of India's most prestigious handloom traditions. Handwoven in Varanasi with real zari brocade in traditional Banarasi motifs — paisleys, florals, and geometric border work — this saree is a graceful, sophisticated choice for festive and formal occasions.

Fabric and Craft

Banarasi silk weaving in Varanasi involves skilled kaarigars working on pit looms, interlacing silk warp threads with real zari — a silver alloy wire with gold plating — to create raised brocade motifs. Nilgiri green is a forest tone that gives this saree a grounded, natural quality, while the warm gold of the zari border and pallu creates a striking contrast. The motifs in a quality Banarasi are derived from Mughal floral traditions, with paisleys, lotus, and butti patterns remaining perennially popular.

Occasion Guide

An elegant choice for weddings, receptions, festive occasions, and traditional ceremonies. Green is an auspicious colour in many South and North Indian traditions and pairs beautifully with gold, ruby, or emerald jewellery and a contrasting blouse in gold, orange, or red.

Care Instructions

Dry clean recommended. Store flat in a clean white muslin cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Air out every 3 months to protect the silk and zari.
