Banaras saree embellished with striking orange and red Meenakari work.

Banaras weaves and sarees originate from the city of Varanasi in India. These sarees are known for their fine silk or cotton fabric, intricate designs, and meticulous craftsmanship. Key features include the use of pure silk, Zari work (metallic threads of gold or silver), brocade weaving with floral and paisley patterns, vibrant colors, and sometimes Zardozi embroidery. Benaras sarees hold cultural significance, especially for weddings and festivals, and are valued for their traditional craftsmanship and elegance. The craft has been passed down through generations, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs.
