Katan Silk Saree

A Katan silk saree is a traditional and luxurious Indian garment known for its fine, soft texture and beautiful sheen. "Katan" refers to the type of silk weave used in creating the saree, where the silk threads are tightly twisted to form a smooth and durable fabric. Originating from Varanasi (Benaras), Katan silk sarees are highly valued for their intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and elegant appeal. The fabric is often embellished with elaborate motifs like floral, geometric, or paisley designs, and is woven with gold or silver zari (metallic thread) to add richness. Katan silk sarees are typically worn on special occasions like weddings, festivals, and celebrations due to their regal and timeless beauty.
