Be it any festivity, wedding celebration or a grand occasion, this radiant silk saree in orange never fails to capture the attention. If the colour wasn?t enough, this saree has exquisite and contrasting zari border and pallu to offer. Introduction of bel and booti in plenty heightens the aesthetic appeal while a matching blouse piece completes this drape. Hanging earrings and a set of sleek bangles collectively serve as a perfect companion to this saree, designed by Mohd. Swaleh Ansari. Its handloom mark no is 2402350182.About Banarasi SareeAn integral part of Indian bride?s trousseau, intricate Banarasi saree completes her grace when worn with solah sringar. Since ancient times, this religious city and a centre of brocade-weaving started producing lavish drapes, that got a strong foothold in global market. Banarasi sarees are majorly worn during weddings, festivals, and grand festivities. Jangla, Tanchoi, Vaskat, Cutwork, Tishu, and Butidar are among exclusive varieties of Banarasi sarees. The drapes are further enhanced through rich craftsmanship and are made of silk warp and silk weft, on plain ground base, brocaded in multiple layouts introducing buties, bells, creepers, and buttas. Special characteristics are Mughal inspired designs of intertwining floral and foliate motifs, kalga and bel, a string of upright leaves called jhallar, edge of border. Other meticulous features include gold work, compact weaving, figures with small details, metallic visual effects, pallus, jal (a net like pattern), and mina work. Normally, three artisans are required to give shape and form to a Banarasi saree but may take a time span of 15 days to six months, depending upon the intricacy required. Till today, Banarasi sarees continue to contribute the most in the history of Indian clothing.Weaver?s Information A celebrated name in manufacturing silk sarees, Hathkargram Vikas Samiti Ltd. is in the business for last 300 years.
