Meenakshi (Iktara Kadwa Pure Zari Saree)

Meenakshi by Alankrit Weaves is a celebration of traditional luxury and artisanal finesse. This pure Banarasi saree is woven using the sacred Iktara weave technique—known for its strength, texture, and exclusivity. Handcrafted in pure silk, every thread is carefully placed to ensure the saree falls with a fluid grace and opulent finish.

What sets Meenakshi apart is its exquisite Kadwa work, where each motif is individually woven with pure zari. Unlike printed or embroidered designs, the Kadwa technique takes time and mastery, resulting in detailed patterns that are both delicate and durable. The golden zari dances against the rich red silk, giving the saree a radiant sheen that’s perfect for grand weddings, festive ceremonies, or any moment that calls for traditional glamour.

The richness of the red hue adds a classic charm, while the intricate weave and luminous zari motifs make this a versatile heirloom piece. Whether draped at a temple wedding or a formal celebration, Meenakshi promises poise, presence, and legacy.

Every Alankrit saree is an investment in timeless beauty—and Meenakshi, with its harmonious blend of color, craftsmanship, and culture, is a keepsake you’ll treasure for life.

Care Instructions

To preserve the elegance and longevity of your handloom saree, we recommend the following care:

• Dry Wash Only:
  Kindly avoid handwashing or machine washing your sarees. Professional dry cleaning is strongly recommended.

• Storage Guidelines:
  Store your saree in a soft cotton or muslin fabric cover to allow it to breathe and protect it from moisture and dust. Avoid using plastic covers.

• Fold Maintenance:
  Change the folds of the saree every 2 to 3 months. This helps prevent permanent creasing and maintains the fabric’s structure over time.
