Banarasi
True Banarasi sarees are handwoven in and around Varanasi from pure silk, with real zari brocade. The hallmarks are the density of the weave and the motifs — jaal (a lattice net), butidar (scattered buttis), shikargah (hunting scenes), and heavy kadhua work where each motif is woven separately rather than floated across the back. The heavier and more intricate the kadhua, the finer the saree.
Much of what's sold as "Banarasi" is powerloom or a silk blend. A pure Banarasi has a soft, substantial fall, a warm (not glassy) zari shine, and — on genuine kadhua pieces — a clean back without long floating threads. Every Banarasi at Aikyatha is pure silk with real zari; we'll show you the silk mark and the weave in person. If you're weighing it against a Kanjivaram, our guide to the 9 key differences between Kanjivaram and Banarasi lays out exactly how they differ.
A Banarasi is a classic North Indian and increasingly pan-Indian bridal and reception choice — red and gold for the vows, or a softer tissue-and-zari Banarasi for the reception and for the wedding guest who wants to stand out. For a full South Indian bridal edit, see our bridal silk sarees.
Banarasi prices track the silk weight and the amount and type of zari — lighter weaves sit at one end, heavy pure-silk kadhua pieces at the other. At Aikyatha they currently range from around ₹9,500 to ₹36,000, with most between ₹12,000 and ₹25,000. See live prices on the collection above, or visit a showroom for pieces across every budget.
