Banarasi Saree

⦁ The origins of Banarasi saris can be traced to the Mughal era, around the 14th century, when the art of weaving silk was introduced to the region. During this time, Banaras became a prominent center for silk production and weaving. The GI or Geographical Indication tag is the most trusted to way to identify a Banarasi as it traces where the sari was woven. Only a sari that was woven in Varanasi (formerly Banaras) can be referred to as a ‘Banarasi’. Katan Silk is a type of silk that is created by twisting together filaments of silk to create a sturdier and more durable fabric. … Banaras Brocade Sarees are made of finely woven silk and decorated with intricate designs using zari; this ornamentation is what makes the sarees heavy. Their special characteristics are Mughal-inspired designs/elements such as intricate floral and foliate motifs, such as kalga and bel.
