One of the finest traditional sarees in India, Banarsi, as the name says are said to have originated in Benares ( now Varanasi ) in Uttar Pradesh. Woven using finest quality Benarasi silk, these sarees are usually heavy with rich embroidery work and intricate motifs dotted across the pallu and border area. The six yards of exquisite fabric in contrasting hues of vibrant red and green instantly brings all eyes on you as you swivel into the room. Although the piece is a timeless keepsake, you are never going to get enough of it, no matter how many times you repeat it.
