Every Banarasi Saree is a Masterpiece. Skilled artisans handmake each saree with traditional methods, enhancing more of its artistic appeal. This beautiful saree is made of silk or light organza, which makes a statement at weddings and festive celebrations.

The Meenakari, the signature feature of Benarasi sarees, is the art of inlaying coloured enamel on a metal to make it bright and glittery; in these sarees it is constructed by using silk threads in different colours which are then woven into the main silk warp and gold or silver zari to create unique patterns or motifs, generally of flowers or paisleys. With this technique and an extra needle, colour is gently tinted into certain delicate design elements, such as the centre of a flower or the curve of a leaf, and this allows each detail to be brought to life with incredible accuracy.

The essence of pure Meenakari is its intricacy— more colours involved means more skill required of the maker and a higher price attained by the saree. The overall effect is a vibrant textile surface, full of depth and variations, reflecting enamelling with weaves.

Every Priyanka Raajiv Meenakari Banarasi pure silk saree is not just fabric; it is the heritage — a loom-to-suit handwoven tribute to India's extravagant and distinctive heritage. The flawless silk, the fine, delicate zari, and the exquisite Meenakari work detail show that tradition meets contemporary stylishness. Worn out for a wedding or kept as a family heirloom, these sarees have always been timeless, a prized possession in your closet with age. Meet at the borders of luxury and art with Priyanka Raajiv, where every warp is a tale of the most skilled crafting.

Every single saree from our collection is not only a fashion piece but also a lyrical ode to the varied and vibrant culture of Banaras. It is not unusual, as they are rich in colour and even richer in meenakari intricacy. The hordes of threads signify the use of the kadhwa technique, which is so laborious that you will not have anyone to cut the thread for you, and the complexity of each motif is one of the remarkable narratives that can last for generations.

Priyanka Raajiv is dedicated to the partnership of time-cherished customs together with contemporary culture, which will ensure that each item is a unique example of its artistry, sustainability, and the deep meaning of history. Our meenakari sarees are not the usual product of the manufacturing industry but instant heirlooms spoken of for the years to come.

Rythu – A Deep Teal Dream

This regal Rythu Banarasi features the timeless and breathtaking Gyasar technique - a leading example of cross-cultural creativity: the influence of Tibetan artistry combines with Indian know-how in a luxurious blend of silk and zari. The striking deep teal canvas works as the perfect canvas to showcase an elaborate all-over floral jaal with delicate weaves of Meenakari. By handworking resham threads in brilliant colours with an extra needle, artisans delicately appliqué for highlights at the centres of flowers, curling vines and the outlines of paisley with soft explosions of rubies, onyxes and emeralds.

Laad – A Whisper of Beige and Gold

Soft as a dying dawn and full of tales spun in gold, Laad is a saree that holds the poetry of time.

The textured gold border and palla bring quiet luxury, a tip of the hat to the grandeur of heritage without ostentation.

The ethereal Laad, with its quiet grace, harks back to the whisper-soft Banarasi finesse.

Modern Chic
