Introduction
As the name suggests, Banarasi sarees are sarees from the land of Varanasi (also known as Banaras). The opulent embroidery with gold, zari, and silver brocade works on finely woven silk, decorated with intricate designs are the highlights of any Banarasi Saree. A Banarasi saree is believed to be one of the most prized possessions of an Indian woman.
You can find a lot of varieties in Banarasi sarees. Let's have a look at the must-have Banarasi saree varieties for your wardrobe:
