Ever wondered where the word Banarasi sarees come from and who designed this elegant clothing?
Banarasi sarees are a type of saree that originated in the city of Varanasi (also known as Banaras) in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The history of Banarasi sarees can be traced back to the Mughal era when Persian and Islamic weaving and embroidery styles were introduced to the region.
During the Mughal period, Varanasi became a center for weaving and embroidery, and Banarasi sarees began to be produced using locally-sourced silk and metallic threads.
These sarees were often embellished with intricate designs and motifs, such as floral patterns, paisleys, and geometric shapes.
Over time, Banarasi sarees became increasingly popular among women in India and worldwide.
Today, Banarasi sarees are known for their luxurious fabrics, intricate embroidery, and elegant designs.
They are often worn for weddings, formal occasions, and religious ceremonies, and they continue to be an essential part of India's rich textile heritage.
