Have you ever dreamed of exploring the streets of Banaras, where time stands still, and secrets are around every corner? Do you feel captivated as you wander through the narrow streets, immersed in a symphony of colors and sounds?

Banarasi clothing is a timeless tradition that lies within the tapestry of Banaras. These outfits are elevated to new heights by the elaborate motifs and lavish embroideries that adorn premium fabrics. They are the perfect choice for weddings and parties. They are timeless in their appeal and exude an elegance that is always impressive.

Women of all ages and regions of India are re-appreciating traditional Banarasi clothing. Each piece is a testament to the artistry of the artisans and the craftsmanship they use. Banarasi sarees, lehengas, kurtas, and shararas reflect the rich culture and elegance that Banaras has to offer.

For many years, Bollywood’s leading ladies, from Deepika Padukone to Madhuri Dixit, have embraced the timeless elegance of Banarasi attire. Vidya BBalan’s love for the intricate Banarasi Saree is a tradition. New-age stars such as Tara Sutaria and Suhana Khan inject fresh energy into Banarasi Lehenga.

A Banarasi outfit requires both patience and skill. Depending on the complexity, it can take from a few hours to up to six months. The intricate brocade is at the heart of the creation process, and it determines not only the price but also its aesthetic appeal.

Brocade weaving requires a lot of skill. Fabric is traditionally woven with two yarns, the warp yarn, and the weft yarn. In Banarasi, however, a shuttle introduces a third thread to create the signature patterns that adorn this outfit.

This third yarn is often Resham or Zari. It plays a crucial role. Zari is made from metallic yarns that are traditionally copper-plated with gold or silver. Today, synthetic alternatives exist, but outfits with pure zari are more expensive due to their precious materials.

Brocades are typically produced by the brocade weaving method in two different types: Fekuan Banarasi Brocade and Kadhua Banarasi Brocade. Kadhua Brocade is a discontinuous weave in which each motif is individually woven. Fekuan, on the other hand, uses a continuous weaving technique with motifs that run from one end to the other.

The art of weaving a Banarasi ensemble is a testament to the dedication and expertise of the artisans, who painstakingly weave each thread. It transforms it into a timeless work of elegance and tradition.
