Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Shikargah motif?
Shikargah, meaning "hunting ground" in Persian, is one of the most elaborate motifs in Banarasi weaving. It depicts a forest scene with animals — deer, elephants, lions, peacocks — set among trees, vines, and floral imagery. The motif has Mughal origins and is considered a prestige weave requiring significant skill and time to execute.
Is a black saree appropriate for weddings?
Yes. A black katan silk saree with gold zari is a sophisticated and increasingly popular choice for wedding guests, evening receptions, and cocktail functions. The black and gold combination is a classic in Indian occasion wear.
Does Wild Noir come with a blouse piece?
Yes, Wild Noir includes a matching blouse piece. Note: the blouse worn by the model in product images is not part of the product.
