What makes Banarasi silk saree special?

Zari Work: The use of gold and silver zari work makes the Banarasi silk saree unique. The rich zari embroidery gives Banarasi sarees -flair of glamour and elegance and hence are the preferred choice for brides and any kind of regal event.

Variety of Weaves: The weaves of Banarasi sarees come in varieties and kadhwa weave is the most intricate weave. In the traditional kadhwa weave, the zari thread is woven into the fabric using needle and zari leaves a slightly raised effect to add 3D effect to the flowers, paisleys or any other motif.

Silk Fabric: The fabric of the saree is typically made from pure silk which gives the saree a soft, smooth and shiny feel and looks quite luxurious-much more than synthetic fabrics and thus appeals to everyone.

Rich Motifs: Banarasi sarees are also known for the rich and detailed motifs which can include flowers, paisleys, peacocks, and other motifs based on Indian heritage, with plenty of these motifs having symbolism to represent prosperity, beauty, the divine, and so on.

All though the Banarasi silk saree garners the most recognition because of its heavy embellishing with an almost limitless choice of classic patterns, the white Jamdani saree features an entirely different appeal which is more about delicateness and minimalism.

Actually, it is the simplistic, unobtrusive aspect of the saree that makes the white Jamdani saree so appealing; a white Jamdani saree allows the wearer to have an impeccable sophisticated silhouette without being hindered by the more visual glimmers and embellishments that fetter a saree with more ornament (or are camouflaged by the happening-ness of a saree with more images and enhancer information). 

Part of the appeal of Jamdani, the original technique of decorative weaving, was the weft of the fabric - delicate and light weight due to it being made from fragile cotton or silk yarns made from fine looms. A Jamdani cotton sari, even though it has the least number of design elements, can still maintain signs of some design elements or techniques, including complex patterns, by still using lots of variables of full-width and sometimes shorter cuts, shapes, and decorative elements foil and embellish traditional handloom trim or process patterns.

The white Jamdani saree should be on everyone's wish list as it effortlessly combines traditional charm with modern elegance and appeal. Because of its understated features the white Jamdani saree has natural versatility in that it perfect for day functions, informal dinners, or elegant work wear.
