At Chinaya Banaras, we bring forward sarees rooted in history and shaped by skilled hands. Our Zardozi sarees are a reflection of Indian needlework traditions passed down through generations. Made using techniques that date back to the Mughal period, each saree in our collection features Zardozi work made with metal threads, beads, and other detailing that create strong visual appeal.

These sarees are suited for weddings, festive occasions, and traditional gatherings. Whether you are choosing a piece for your bridal trousseau or for a special event, you will find options that are carefully designed to match the setting and season.

What is Zardozi Work?

Zardozi embroidery is a technique that uses gold and silver threads, combined with stones, sequins, and other surface materials, to form raised patterns on fabric. This form of needlework was historically worn by nobility and is still practiced by trained professionals today.

At Chinaya Banaras, we apply this embroidery style on fabrics like pure silk, organza, tussar, and chiffon, depending on the design and purpose of the saree.

Types of Zardozi Sarees

Our selection of Zardozi work sarees and suit sets features a diverse range of options to suit various preferences and budgets.

1. Bridal Zardozi Sarees
   Our bridal Zardozi sarees carry dense hand embroidery and carefully structured layouts that support the needs of bridal styling. These sarees often feature deep reds, maroons, and gold tones, made to match traditional bridal settings. Patterns include floral vines, peacock motifs, and geometric lines, all applied with hand embroidery techniques using metal threads, dabka, and stones.
   
2. Banarasi Zardozi Silk Sarees
   
   When you pair Banarasi weaving with Zardozi embroidery, the outcome is strong in both structure and visual detail. These sarees carry the marks of two established textile methods, making them suited for traditional ceremonies, engagements, and family events. The silk base supports the weight of the embroidery and helps maintain the form of the drape.
   
3. Zardozi Organza and Chiffon Sarees
   
   For those looking for a lighter alternative, our organza and chiffon Zardozi sarees offer options with lighter drape and slightly spaced-out embroidery. These are well-suited for functions where movement and comfort are required without leaving behind detailed surface work.
   
4. Zardozi Sarees Under 10000
   
   We offer a range of Zardozi sarees under 10000 to 20000 for those seeking affordable options without a drop in handwork quality. These sarees are ideal for wedding reception, ceremonies, smaller gatherings, gifting purposes, or as part of a growing wardrobe of hand-done textiles.

Key Features of Banarasi Zardozi Sarees

Tips for Choosing the Right Zardozi Saree

2. Fabric: Use silk or Banarasi silk for structure. Use organza or chiffon for a light-weight option.
3. Color: Reds, golds, and dark greens suit traditional settings, while softer shades like blush, beige, and muted tones work well for other occasions.
4. Budget: We offer a wide price range to help you find a saree that fits both your needs and your budget.
