Everything You Need To Know About Banarasi Raw Silk Saree

Banarasi silk saree has something magical about it. This rich and intricately woven silk saree originates from the city of Varanasi or Banaras. The regal motifs and designs make the Banarasi silk saree a must-have for every Indian woman. Many celebs like Anushka Sharma, Jaya Bachchan, and others have been spotted wearing this stunning silk saree on various occasions.

The Banarasi silk saree sprung to popularity during the rule of Mughal Emperor Akbar. His fondness for the fabric was so much that he used it for his carpets and curtains as well. This inspired many Muslim weavers to start weaving in Banaras. Hence, many motifs used in a Banarasi silk saree are Mughal-inspired.

Although there are many silk sarees for women online, the most preferred one is the Banarasi silk saree.

Types of Banarasi Sarees

Let us make it clear, Banarasi sarees are not only in silk but are available in many other types as well. Here are the different variants that are available:

Katan Silk or Pure Silk
Katan or pure silk fabric is woven using pure silk threads. Now, power looms are also used to weave this saree but earlier only handlooms were used to weave this fabric.

Organza or Kora Silk
The organza or kora silk sarees are the ones with renowned weft and warp patterns. These silk sarees have gold and silver threads that form a zari brocade.

Georgette Banarasi Saree
This light fabric is a simple weave in a Banarasi pattern. Light in weight and easy to drape, the georgette Banarasi saree is a popular pick.

Identifying a Banarasi Saree
There are many options when you go to buy banarasi silk saree online. However, it is important that you identify the saree right and not end up investing in a duplicate saree type. The main indicator that you need to look out for when you buy Banarasi silk saree online or offline is by looking for the heavy threadwork on the reverse side of the saree. Please note, even this can be manipulated. Hence, it is important to look for the Geographical Indication or GI tag. This tag is given to protect the buyers and the artisans.

Caring for Banarasi Saree
Banarasi sarees especially the silk ones need immense care. Here are some tips that will help you in keeping them safe.

Never leave your Banarasi saree hanging on a hangar for a long time. It will lead to permanent creases.
Always store them in a soft muslin cloth to protect the saree from moisture.
Make sure you store your saree in a dark place to prevent discoloration.
While ironing your Banarasi saree, ensure that the heat settings are always low. The best alternative would be a steam iron. Also, never sprinkle water while ironing the saree to prevent stains
Keep perfume and water away as they may stain the saree.
