The Banarasi sari, hailing from Varanasi (Banaras), is among India's finest silk textiles, renowned for its opulence and exquisite craftsmanship.Characterized by finely woven silk and opulent gold or silver zari (brocade) work, these sarees are relatively heavy due to the intricate ornamentation. Mughal-inspired motifs are key features, including intertwining floral and foliate designs, kalga (paisley), and a string of upright leaves called jhallar on the border.Taking anywhere from 15 days to six months to complete by skilled artisans, the Banarasi sari is a symbol of luxury and is primarily worn by Indian women on important occasions like weddings. They are available in various silk weaves, including Katan, Organza (Kora), and Georgette.
