Royal Blue Katan Banarasi with Bridal Mughal Jaal

Blue Banarasi katan sarees are rare — the dye tradition for this depth of royal blue was revived by a single family of weavers in Varanasi's Madanpura locality. This piece carries a full Mughal jaal — the all-over lattice of flowers and leaves — in real gold zari on the royal blue ground. The pallu is a dense garden of gold.
