women self design banarasi saree with blouse

Festive Wear

Yes

Traditional Indian garment known for its rich weaving and luxurious feel. The saree features intricate zari work, which involves weaving with metallic threads, often gold or silver, to create elaborate patterns. The motifs on the saree are inspired by Mughal designs, including floral and foliate patterns, as well as kalga and bel designs. The border and pallu also have intricate zari work, often with paisley and floral designs. These sarees are handwoven by skilled artisans using techniques like kadwa, where each motif is woven individually, creating reversible patterns on both sides. The soft silk used in this saree makes it lightweight and comfortable to wear. Banarasi sarees are often worn on festive occasions and weddings.
