Fine and Luxurious Texture: The sarees are made of very finely woven silk, often using high-quality Mulberry Silk (especially in its pure form, known as Katan). This gives the fabric a smooth, soft texture and a distinctive, rich sheen.Brocade or Zari Work: The most iconic feature is the opulent use of Zari (metallic threads, traditionally real gold or silver, though modern versions often use gold/silver-plated copper or synthetic substitutes). This zari is woven into the silk base to create dense, shimmering patterns.Heavy and Opulent Feel: Due to the dense silk weave and the generous use of zari, authentic Banarasi sarees are relatively heavy, giving them a rich, regal fall and drape.Durability: Despite their delicate appearance, pure Banarasi silk sarees are known for their durability and can be treasured as heirlooms for generations.
