{"product_id":"orange-soft-katan-silk-saree-with-maroon-and-gold-temple-border","title":"Red Soft Katan Silk Saree with Temple Border","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an red soft katan silk saree with a deep maroon border, small gold zari floral buttas across the body, and a gold zari temple border running the length of both edges. The pallu carries a broad woven brocade panel — the heaviest weaving on the saree, and the reason it reads as occasion wear rather than everyday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you are buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft katan silk — a denser semi-silk weave, not pure katan and not pure mulberry silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e red body with a deep maroon border\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork:\u003c\/strong\u003e gold zari floral buttas across the body, gold zari temple border, woven brocade pallu\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the fabric\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatan is a tighter, denser weave than our soft silk, which is what gives it more body and a crisper fall. Ours is a semi-katan — a semi-silk blend, not pure katan and not pure mulberry silk. We do not sell it as either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silk is sourced from Golghar market in Varanasi, where the founder selects fabric directly from weaver families each season. The zari is woven into the fabric on the loom rather than printed, glued or applied afterwards. The temple border is the easiest place to see it — the triangles have raised texture and catch light unevenly, where a printed edge would sit flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA note on the colour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese photographs were taken in late afternoon and evening light, which pushes the red warmer and slightly more red than it is. In daylight the body reads as a clearer vermillion red, and the border as a deep maroon rather than a brown-red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the exact shade matters for your occasion, message us on WhatsApp before you order and we will send a photograph taken in whatever light you ask for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich occasions this saree suits\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNavratri:\u003c\/strong\u003e orange is one of the nine Navratri colours, and one of the most worn — check the published colour list for the current year if you are following the day-by-day sequence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeddings, as a guest:\u003c\/strong\u003e orange is festive and sits well away from the shades a guest is traditionally asked to avoid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePuja and temple visits:\u003c\/strong\u003e a traditional and appropriate colour for religious occasions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiwali and festive daytime gatherings:\u003c\/strong\u003e the zari pallu carries an evening, and the colour photographs vividly in daylight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGifting:\u003c\/strong\u003e orange with gold is a confident choice that reads as celebratory rather than cautious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to style an red and maroon katan silk saree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlouse\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaroon, picking up the border, is the safest choice — the two colours are already proven together on the saree itself. Bottle green and deep teal are the strongest true contrasts against red and are worth considering if you want it to look less traditional. Antique gold works with the zari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eJewellery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique gold, temple gold and kundan sit naturally with a warm saree and woven zari. Oxidised silver gives it a bolder, more contemporary reading, as photographed. Choose one metal and stay with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFootwear and finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo to three inch heels or wedges. A potli or clutch. Hair tied or in a bun so the pallu stays visible across the shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColour note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed is a warm, high-saturation colour and it amplifies natural warmth — it reads especially richly on wheatish and deep complexions. The maroon border gives it the depth it needs to hold definition on fairer skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize, length and drape\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saree is 6.5 metres long, measuring the body, border and pallu together. It is free size — the drape adjusts for heights of roughly 5'0\" to 5'10\". If you are on the shorter side, tuck the plain end slightly inward before you begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKatan is denser than our soft silk, so it holds a pleat crisply and keeps its shape through the evening. The pallu is weighty — pin it securely at the shoulder. Around 5 to 7 pleats at the front, pallu over the left shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for this saree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean is strongly recommended for katan — the density of the weave and the zari on the pallu make it the safer route throughout the saree's life, not only for the first wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever machine wash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not wring, and never hang wet silk — it stretches and warps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash separately if you ever hand wash — a bright orange against a deep maroon is the pairing most likely to transfer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore folded in muslin or cotton cloth with a silica gel sachet, not in a plastic bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AbirabyBeena","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71328622805245,"sku":"BS-KS-OR-OOO","price":2450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/5774\/7709\/files\/orange-maroon-katan-silk-saree-front.jpg?v=1789812109","url":"https:\/\/www.abirabybeena.com\/products\/orange-soft-katan-silk-saree-with-maroon-and-gold-temple-border","provider":"AbirabyBeena","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
