About the Craft

The genesis of Chanderi sarees lies deep within the historical town of Chanderi in the Ashoknagar district of Madhya Pradesh. This revered craft traces its origins back through centuries, flourishing under the patronage of royalty. The silk thread, interwoven with fine cotton and the opulent touch of golden zari, creates the legendary 'sheer texture' of the Chanderi fabric—it is famed for its gossamer lightness and radiant sheen. Each saree is patiently woven by handloom weavers whose skills have been passed down through generations. The rhythmic click-clack of the loom is the heartbeat of this tradition, ensuring that every yard retains the unique, inimitable touch of human artistry and heritage. The inclusion of the golden zari border and delicate Meena Buti requires precise, specialised skill, transforming a simple piece of silk into a work of art.

Speciality

What sets this particular saree apart is the harmonious interplay of the fabric's luminous texture and the traditional motifs. The pure silk base lends the saree a magnificent fall and a subtle shimmer that catches the light beautifully. The golden zari border acts as a magnificent frame, enhancing the saree’s regal appeal, while the scattered Meena Buti—small, colourful enamel-work motifs—add a sophisticated, jewel-like dimension. The combination of the deep maroon colour with the gold zari and colourful butis creates a depth and richness that is both classic and breathtakingly beautiful, marking it as a piece of enduring value and style.
