Beauty of Banarasi Sarees to grace up your wedding occasions

Your collection of sarees isn’t complete if a Banarasi Saree is not a part of it! The reason lies in the beauty and aura the saree brings to every woman who drapes it. The grace a banarasi sarees offers can be hardly matched by any other outfits an Indian woman would wear.

The credit for the creation of this splendid piece goes to the weaver who makes the saree with absolute precision. It takes around 15 days to one month into making the saree, however the time may vary depending on the complexity of the design. There are two old traditional weaving sectors in Varanasi, Alaipura and Madanpura. The techniques used to make the sarees by the two groups are quite different from each other. Madanpura weavers are known for their fine traditional work. Generally, the saree is found in combination of patterns in Indian and Persian style. The love for the saree among women can be seen around the world as the traditional craftsmen now export their work even to the remotest corners beyond India. To be precise, the saree is exported to around 200 countries and the demand keeps increasing steadily. The silk that goes into the making of the saree comes from the Southern part of the country, mainly from Bangalore.


Banarasi saree is available in four basic types namely, pure silk saree (katan), organza saree (kora) with zari and silk, georgette saree and shatter saree. Apart from this, the saree now is also available in various fabric combinations. Based on designs, banarasi sarees can be further classified in six categories which are- jangla, tanchoi, tissue, butidar, cutwork, vaskat and most importantly banarasi silk jamdani. You could trust on these type of wedding sarees. In the phase of technology, you could rely on online stores to buy the best form of sarees.

The authentic Banarasi sarees is made of around 5600 thread wires that are each 45-inch long. A power loom is used to create the base of the saree. In all, three workers engage in making the saree, one weaves it while the other one revolves the ring where bundles are created. The process of designing begins at the time of bundling. To create design boards the artist primarily sketches the design on a graph paper along with the colour scheme to be used. Punch cards are created before selecting the final design. The efforts that are required to make a Banarasi sarees are unmatched.

The saree is truly a jewel in our Indian traditional culture that needs to be preserved till the end. The saree is also part of every Indian bride’s wardrobe. It is the first type of saree that strikes us when we hear about a bridal saree. Moreover, today’s fashion trends aim at revival of traditional patterns and mixing them with modern colour and style which is why the Banarasi saree tradition lately is undergoing changes to fit in the modern styles.
