Banarasi Silk Saree

Fabric: The primary fabric used in Banarasi silk sarees is pure silk. The silk threads are of high quality, giving the sarees a smooth and luxurious texture. The use of pure silk contributes to the rich feel and sheen of the saree.

Weaving Technique: What distinguishes Banarasi silk sarees is the intricate and detailed weaving technique. The traditional method involves weaving the saree with gold or silver zari (metallic thread) brocade. This creates elaborate patterns and motifs on the saree, often inspired by Mughal art, floral designs, or geometric shapes.

Zari Work: Zari, a metallic thread typically made of gold or silver, is used extensively in Banarasi silk sarees. The zari is woven into the fabric to create stunning patterns, borders, and pallus. This intricate zari work adds a touch of grandeur and makes the sarees suitable for special occasions and celebrations.
