"VIRASAT 258" Banarasi Upadda Silk Real Zari Brocade Elephant Motif Saree

Product Overview

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of ancient India with this magnificent Deep Purple Banarasi Upadda Silk Saree. This piece is a textile tribute to the "Gajaraj" (King of Elephants), a symbol of wisdom, royalty, and prosperity in Indian mythology.

While the saree carries the visual opulence of a heavy traditional Banarasi, it is woven using the refined Upadda technique. This fusion ensures that the fabric feels incredibly soft, lightweight, and breathable against the skin, allowing for effortless draping and perfect pleats. The deep, mysterious Aubergine (Brinjal Purple) base serves as a dramatic night-sky canvas for the intricate Silver Zari work.

The body of the saree features a "Real Jaal" (all-over net) pattern, where majestic Elephant motifs are depicted wandering through lush, silver floral vines. This design is reminiscent of the classic Shikargah (royal hunting) scenes found in museum-quality textiles. The heavy silver brocade border and pallu add a final touch of brightness, making this saree a showstopper for weddings and evening galas.
