Handloom Olive and Black Silk Tissue Saree and Blouse with Red Selvedge

Kadhwa stands for 'kadha hua' or 'embroidered'. in kadhwa weaving, each motif is woven separately as opposed to other banarasi techniques. often two weavers weave a kadhwa saree. one weaver is engaged in weaving the cloth or the body of the saree and the second helps in carving out or embroidering each motif using a wooden spool or tilli as it’s called in banaras. using this technique, many different motifs of different sizes, colours and textures can be woven on the same sari, which is quite difficult to do otherwise. a kadhwa saree typically will take a minimum of 12-14 days to complete and go up to 8-9 months also depending on the intricacy of the design. the backside of a kadhwa saree is clean and has almost negligible or zero float or loose threads.
