Banarasi Saree is a royal fabric, unnatisilks Banarasi saree is popular even in moden avatar

The Banarasi saree is from Benares or Varanasi. Known for its gold and silver brocade or zari work, it is generally accompanied by rich embroidery, intricate designs and engravings. Designs from the Mughal period are mainly the base for these engravings, such as floral intertwining, motifs of leaves on the borders and the body. Kimkhab, potthan, betta and amru are some of the famous brocades woven on banarasi saris. 

Other distinctive features are heavy gold work, intricate weaving, detailing work, metallic effects which contribute to the richness and grandeur of the saree. In the proccess, they also make the fabric slightly heavy.

The finery and trappings of the Banarasi Saree are reason enough for it to figure in any Indian wedding. As Bridal attire, it provides an extremely rich look and feel for the occasion. Based on design the Banarasi sari has been classified as Pure Silk, Organza, Georgette and Shattir. Again based on cut methods they are classified differently.

Beautiful combinations for Banarasi Sarees have evolved and are suitable for different ocasions.

Designer banarasi pure silk sarees richly woven with intricate beautiful zari brocades, jamdhani work, floral and foliage motifs are much loved by bollywood celebrities and are a ‘hit’ for Indian weddings.  

Banarasi sari having border decorated with kundans, pearls, beads and sequins is extremely stylish. With Jhallar work enhancing the beauty of the sari further it is a grand affair for festivals and important social occasions.

An Indian designer pure Banarasi brocade saree having ‘jal’ (net) at the borders, rich embroidery on the net and with an elegant pallu is very charming, and most apt for weddings, functions and suited as bridal attire. 

An exclusively hand crafted design on banarasi patola cotton saree makes it uniquely stylish and a good choice for college parties and traditional festivals.

The weaving could take anywhere up to a month or even several, based on the designs and trappings chosen for the Banarasi Saree. Methods are being adopted to extract natural colours from plants, flowers and fruits to address environmental concerns, but still much needs to be done.

An estimated population of over 10 lakhs is associated with the Banarasi Silk Saree industry from Banaras and its surrounding areas such as Gorakhpur, Bhadohi, Jaunpur.

Over a period of time, the industry has suffered on account of mechanized loom productions claiming the label of Banarasi Sari, on account of their being located in Banaras and nearby areas. The Geographical Indication (GI) rights for Banaras brocades and sarees awarded in 2009 to six districts of Varanasi, Mirzapur, Chandauli, Bhadohi, Jaunpur and Azamgarh districts, gave legal rights to the traditional weavers of these areas and a trade boost to this traditionalweave to see better days.

Kanchipuram Silk Saree, unnatisilks Kanchipuram Saree symbolic of grandeur, Kanchipuram Saree remains exclusive

The Kanchipuram( or Kanjivaram) Saree, known for its traditional grandeur and rich feel, is chosen for its exclusivity, and displayed only on special occasions.    

Kanchipuram, near Chennai, is famous for its Kanchipuram or Kanjeevaram Sarees.

Traditionally Kanjeevaram Sarees are of silk and cotton. However the Kanchipuram Silk Saree, exclusively known for its regal look and grand feel is the possessor’s pride and the envy of others. No marriage or traditional function in South India seems solemnized unless the resplendent Kanchipuram Silk Saree adorns many a woman present on the occasion.

Kanchipuram Silk Sarees are made of pure silk, achieving their grandeur from the motifs having zari of silk threads dipped in liquid gold and silver. Classification as a Kanjeevaram Sari, needs the  Geographical Indication (GI)  stipulation, that the decorative zari must have at least 57% silver and 0.6% gold in it, be followed in word and detail.

A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain products which corresponds to a specific geographical location or origin. The use of a GI may act as a certification that the product possesses certain qualities, is made according to traditional methods, or enjoys a certain reputation, due to its geographical origin.

Elegant broad borders with colours and designs different from that of the body highlight the Kanjeevaram Silk Saree. The pallu or hanging end of the saree, could be of the same colour and design as that of the border or could differ. If different, it is woven separately and then finely attached to the main saree.

A Kanjeevaram Silk Sari could take two to three weavers working simultaneously, anywhere from a week to a fortnight to complete a Saree.  The time taken depends upon the uniqueness and intricacy of the design to be incorporated in the motif.

Typical motifs are sun, moon, peacock, swan, lion and mango. Themes like jasmine flowers scattered between boundaries, parallel lines running across the sun or temple structures, are also popular.

A popular variation is a thicker, stiff and heavier Kanchipuram Silk Saree. This is achieved by the dipping of zari threads in rice water and drying it to get thickness, before weaving for supplementary warp and weft patterns.

Priced from a modest Rs. 2000/-, the Kanchipuram Silk Saree could move upto a lakh and above, based on the design, motif and materials used.

Modern designs, artistic floral work and other incorporations on the saree body are variations to widen the appeal of the Kanchipuram Silk Saree.
