Alisha: Black Handwoven Katan Silk Saree

Alisha is crafted from Katan silk, a revered silk traditionally woven in Bishnupur, Bengal—a historic weaving centre known for its fine silk, architectural inspirations, and meticulous craftsmanship. Bishnupur Katan silk is prized for its smooth texture, gentle weight, and elegant drape, making it a fabric of choice for heirloom sarees.

This saree features a deep black Katan silk base, enriched with classic zari work and finished with a striking temple motif on the pallu—a design element inspired by the iconic terracotta temples of Bishnupur. The motif anchors the saree in Bengal’s cultural landscape, adding symbolism and quiet grandeur without excess ornamentation.

Balanced, graceful, and timeless, Alisha drapes beautifully and feels structured yet fluid on the body. It is a saree that speaks of heritage through detail—perfect for women who appreciate tradition expressed with restraint and elegance.

Ideal for weddings, festive occasions, cultural evenings, and meaningful celebrations, Alisha is a classic you will return to across years and generations.
