| description | In this study Banarasi silk saree is examined in its totality, including its beginnings in ancient times. A variety of zari, including pure, tested, powder, and plastic, are required to make it. There is a short introduction of the looms used to make this saree, and several designs used to improve its appearance are also included in the research. Banarasi sarees come in a variety of styles including brocade, chiffon, and jangla. Intricate Banarasi sarees made out of different varieties of silk yarns or cotton/silk blended yarns are on the verge of extinction. In addition, the Indian government’s numerous schemes and plans to help weavers and revive this golden silk art have also been addressed. |
