At TANA BANA, we believe in weaving stories. This exclusive collection brings together the "King of Silks"—the Kanjivaram—and the legendary finesse of Calcutta hand-embroidery. It is a rare fusion where the structured, gold-infused weave of Kanchipuram meets the intricate, needle-fine Zardosi and Aari work of Bengal’s master artisans.
 
The TANA BANA Fusion Excellence
Authentic Kanjivaram Base: Woven from heavy, high-denier silk, providing the signature luster and regal "khadi" (stiffness) that makes Kanjivaram sarees world-famous.
Exquisite Calcutta "Karigari": The saree is further elevated with "Calcutta Work"—heavy, hand-stitched motifs using metallic threads, beads, and sequins. This adds a 3D texture and a level of detail that machine-work can never replicate.
Rich Zari Integration: Traditional temple borders and floral vanasingaram motifs are highlighted with delicate hand-embroidery, creating a breathtaking layering of gold-on-gold.
Investment Piece: This is a heavy, ceremonial saree designed to be an heirloom, maintaining its value and beauty for decades.
 
Styling for the Grand Occasion
The Traditional Bride: Pair with classic gold jewelry and a jasmine-adorned braid to honor the South Indian roots of the fabric.
The Modern Royalty: Opt for a heavy embroidered "Calcutta-style" long-sleeve blouse to match the intricate handwork on the saree.
The Occasion: The ultimate choice for weddings, grand religious ceremonies, and milestone anniversaries.
