Banarasi saree
The Banarasi saree is a traditional Indian garment known for its rich fabric and intricate designs. Originating from Varanasi, a city in northern India, these sarees are typically made from silk and are adorned with elaborate patterns, including floral motifs and geometric shapes. They are often embellished with gold or silver threads, making them a popular choice for weddings and festive occasions.
These sarees come in various styles, including the Katan, which is pure silk, and the Georgette, which is lighter and more flowy. The craftsmanship involved in creating a Banarasi saree is remarkable, with skilled artisans hand-weaving each piece, ensuring that every saree is unique and of high quality.
