Picture yourself in a resplendent red Banarasi saree on your wedding day or draped in a breezy Banarasi georgette saree for your best friend’s big day. More than just fabric, these sarees are a piece of heritage, an heirloom passed down through generations, connecting you to your roots. Over centuries, the weaving traditions of Banarasi silk sarees have evolved, resulting in multiple variations, each unique in design and craftsmanship.

Types of Banarasi Sarees

• Kadwa Weave

  One of the most intricate and labour-intensive weaving techniques, Kadwa involves individually weaving each motif using a separate shuttle, similar to the Jamdani technique. This prevents loose threads at the back, giving the saree an embossed effect and making it one of the most sought-after varieties of pure Banarasi sarees.

• Tanchoi Weave

  Introduced by Chinese traders in the 19th century, the Tanchoi Banarasi saree is crafted by interweaving silk yarns to create small, intricate patterns across the body. The absence of floating threads at the back ensures a smooth finish, making them a luxurious yet comfortable choice.

• Banarasi Brocade

  A technique that flourished during the Mughal era, Brocade Banarasi silk sarees feature elaborate designs woven with silk and zari threads. The floating metallic yarns add a rich sheen, making these sarees synonymous with opulence and grandeur.

• Extra Weft Cutwork

  Also known as Phekua, this technique involves an additional weft woven throughout the saree, with excess yarns manually cut by artisans post-weaving. It is known for its bold motifs and intricate designs, giving the saree an artistic appeal.

• Meenakari Work

  Meenakari Banarasi sarees involve the addition of vibrant Resham threads along with zari, creating multi-coloured motifs. This technique lends an exquisite, colourful charm to the saree, making it a distinctive choice for grand celebrations.

• Konia Motif

  A rare and elaborate weaving style, Konia Banarasi sarees feature intricate motifs woven at the corners of the pallu using gold, silver, or silk threads. This requires a seasoned weaver’s expertise and adds a regal touch to the saree’s aesthetics.

Why Banarasi Sarees Are Special

A Banarasi silk saree is not just attire; it is a work of art steeped in heritage and tradition. The city of Banaras (Varanasi), Uttar Pradesh, has been a centre for silk weaving since ancient times, and the sarees that originate here are celebrated for their finesse and craftsmanship.

Each original Banarasi saree is woven on traditional handlooms by skilled artisans, many of whom belong to families that have been practising this craft for generations. These sarees are a confluence of artistry and cultural significance, making them a prized possession in every wardrobe.
