Pure Silk Sarees

Banarasi silk sarees are unique due to their rich silk fabric, intricate zari or gold thread work, and traditional weaving techniques originating from Varanasi, India.

To identify a real Banarasi silk saree, look for the Silk Mark label, intricate zari work, traditional designs, heavy weight, luxurious texture, high price, and perform a burn test.

Common motifs and designs found in Banarasi silk sarees include floral patterns like bel, jhummar, and kalga; nature-inspired designs like birds, animals, and leaves; and geometric patterns like butis and jal.

Banarasi silk sarees are suitable for various occasions, including weddings, festivals, traditional ceremonies, and formal events where elegance and grandeur are desired.

To care for a Banarasi silk saree, dry clean it, store away from sunlight in a muslin cloth, avoid perfume contact, and handle gently to prevent damage.
