Why Banarasi saris are an ideal wedding pick?
Banarasi silk saris are one of the most popular and oldest silhouettes worn in Indian culture and have a significance and connection with the historic city of Banaras, now known as Varanasi. Counted among the finest saris of India, let’s take a quick look at some of its unique types.
Katan silk Banarasi sari
Katan is a plain fabric made of pure silk threads which are then twisted and woven together to create a sari. It makes the sari look more shiny and sturdy, making it an ideal pick for festivities.
Shattir Banarasi silk sari
Shattir also has a variety based on the lighter and heavier silhouette and then is integrated into a Banarasi sari creating stylish and contemporary motifs and designs.
Georgette Banarasi sari
Georgette is mainly constructed from fine twisted yarns made from original silk and is very light when spunned into the Banarasi fabric. It gives a soft and luscious appeal.
Jangla Banarasi sari
Inspired by the theme of ‘jungle’ including flora and fauna, the dense zari work found in these Banarasi include prints of hunting animals, human figures, and ancient activities as well.
Tanchoi Banarasi sari
Tanchoi Banarasi has a complicated technique that requires twists and multiple weft colours and is made into a maze and then achieves its aesthetics.
