Embrace Luxury and Tradition with Jaypore's Exquisite Collection of Banarasi Sarees
From the ghats and alleys of the ancient city of Banaras comes the famed and opulent banarasi saree. Interwoven with culture, folklore, and pride, it represents the cultural heritage and traditional values of India. These six yards of cloth are nothing but a pure luxury for everyone searching to adorn a piece of treasured craft for special moments. As the tradition goes, a pure banarasi saree is finely woven with silk yarns using intricate and elaborate Zari work. The motifs are inspired by the Mughal floral and foliate design elements such as the Kalga and Bel. They are typically made using gold or silver threads, giving the saree a lustrous and luxurious touch.
At Jaypore, we have proudly curated our collection of banarasi sarees for you. Each saree is a tapestry of fine craftsmanship that recounts the stories of culture and heritage through time. These sarees are nothing less than pure elegance, made with silk and adorned with intricate designs. Our pure banarasi sarees are a fine blend of craftsmanship, traditional techniques, and contemporary designs that are an ode to artisans' meticulous craft.
Recounting the History of Banarasi Sarees
The banarasi sarees trace their origins to the sacred city of Banaras, also commonly referred to as Kashi. While the sarees's tale and evidence can be seen before the Mughal era, it was under their patronage that the craft flourished significantly. The sarees' characteristic motifs and patterns materialized and gained prominence in the 16th and 14th centuries when weavers from Gujarat migrated to the city. As a result of this migration, the local weavers from Banaras imbibed the crafting techniques of silk weaving and imbued the artistic traditions. Over time, with the Mughals promoting the craft, the weavers were influenced by the Central Asia, Mughal, and Persian designs and motifs that can still be seen to this day.
The banarasi weaving craft reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Akbar. The weavers steadily established themselves and integrated silk brocades using gold and silver zari threads. Thereafter, their unique designs gained popularity worldwide. Today, pure banarasi sarees have become an integral part of the women's wedding ensemble in every culture and part of the country.

The Weaving Process of the Exquisite Banarasi Sarees
The making of banarasi sarees involves several crucial steps to produce the masterpiece. Let's dive deeper into the step-by-step process for it:
- Creating the Designs: The first step in making the famed saree is making the motifs. Once finalized, they are translated, either by hand or digitally, onto the cardboard known as "Naksha Patta." These cardboards are then skillfully attached to the jacquard loom, where the weavers will weave.
- Selecting the Yarns: In the next step, the yarns and their materials are selected. Usually, silk is selected and is of high quality. The raw silk yarns are then dyed per the design requirements and segregated to load into the fly shuttle.
- The Weaving: Once the shuttles are loaded in the loom, the weaving starts. It is the most complicated part of the entire process and is done by hand. On average, it can take anywhere from ten days to a month to complete the banarasi saree. It can even take more time, depending on the design.
- Finishing: Once the sarees are completed, the finishing touches are given. In this process, some sarees may need to be cut to remove any residual threads left behind on the reverse side of the fabric.
Styling Tips for Banarasi Saree
The regal appearance of the pure banarasi sarees does not require much styling. To ensure a well-balanced look, here are some styling tips and tricks:
- Pair the Right Blouse Design: It is of utmost importance to choose the right design for a women's blouse that complements the saree.
- Choose the Right Accessories: Choosing the right accessories offers an elevated and refined look. You can layer your necklaces or wear a matching earring for a balanced look.
- Matching the Footwear: Match your footwear. Wear one which complements the colour and design. You can opt from Jaypore's range of juttis and mojris, kolapuris, and more.
- Be Mindful of the Drape: The drape of the sarees can dramatically alter the look. You can also experiment with various draping styles for various looks.
- Wear Your Confidence: It is important to look confident in your special moments. Always wear your confidence on your sleeve.
Essential Care Guidelines for Banarasi Sarees
With the intricate silk brocades and zari works, it is essential that you take care of the sarees properly for their longevity and good condition. Without further ado, here are some of the essential care tips for the banarasi sarees:
- Dry Clean Only: Banarasi sarees must be dry cleaned professionally to ensure zero damage. Washing them at home without proper guidance will damage the fabric and intricate work.
- Proper Storage: Store your pure banarasi sarees in a dedicated space, like a box or bag. Use naphthalene, mothballs, or camphor to prevent insect and mould infestation. Make sure the place is dry.
- Ironing: Always put a cloth or newspaper between the folds while ironing. This prevents direct contact with heat and avoids damage.
- Change Folds: At regular intervals, change the folds of the sarees to prevent any permanent fold marks or fraying.
