Pure Khaddi Banarasi Georgette Saree | Neem Zari Nakshi Weaving | Hand Bandhej Tie-Dye
Two of India's most celebrated craft traditions — woven together in a single saree.
This saree brings together the finesse of Banarasi Khaddi Georgette weaving and the ancient art of hand Bandhej tie-dye. The Neem Zari Nakshi weaving introduces delicate heritage motifs across the fabric — subtle, precise, and unmistakably handcrafted. The Bandhej work layers thousands of hand-tied knots over the woven base, creating a textile that carries depth, texture, and living craft in every inch.
Khaddi Georgette from Varanasi is known for its airy, fluid drape — lighter than silk, cooler than most weaves, and effortlessly elegant through long occasions. This is not a saree built for a single event. It is built to be worn, remembered, and kept.

From Two Craft Traditions
Banarasi Khaddi Georgette is woven on handlooms in Varanasi using fine yarns that give the fabric its characteristic lightness and sheen. The Neem Zari Nakshi technique introduces zari-based motifs directly into the weave — not printed, not embroidered, but woven in.
The Bandhej process is applied over this woven base. Artisans tie thousands of tiny knots by hand before the fabric is dyed, creating the characteristic dotted patterns that have defined Bandhani craft for centuries. Each knot is placed individually. No two sarees are identical.
At Ethnics Land, every piece is sourced directly from artisan communities. No replicas. No substitutes. Only genuine craft.

Styling Note
The Neem Zari Nakshi weaving and Bandhej dots create a visually layered saree that needs minimal accessorising. Traditional gold or kundan jewellery enhances the heritage character. For a more contemporary balance, antique gold or polki with a structured solid-tone blouse keeps the saree as the focal point.
