THE ATELIER PALETTE
Twenty colours our looms know by heart
Every Danyah Banaras saree begins with a colour decision. These are the twenty our master weavers in Madanpura return to most — from the sindoori-red of the Hindu wedding mandap to the lavender mauve that Sabyasachi made bridal again. Each shown with its English and Hindi name, the occasion it carries best, and the zari pairing that brings it most alive on the loom.

Don't see your colour?
These twenty are where we live. We weave others on commission. Tell us the colour you carry in your head — your mother's wedding pink, your grandmother's parrot green, the exact green of your nani's haldi sari — and we will match it on the loom. Six weeks from yarn-dye to your hand.
