The Banarasi saree is a traditional and highly renowned Indian saree that originates from the city of Varanasi (formerly known as Banaras) in Uttar Pradesh, India. These sarees are known for their exquisite craftsmanship, luxurious fabrics, and intricate designs. They hold a significant place in Indian culture and are often considered a symbol of elegance and opulence. 

Weaving Technique: Banarasi sarees are typically woven using a special technique called the “Brocade” weaving technique. This involves weaving patterns or motifs into the fabric using gold, silver, or silk threads, creating intricate and decorative designs.
