Banarasi is a famous form of fabric work. And the history of this stunning,
intricate, and famous work goes back centuries. Banarasi work originates from a
city of India, Banaras.
The city is located by the banks of River
Ganga. According to history the
Banarasi fabric has been around for at least two millennia. The Banarasi work
flourished during the time of Kasi Kindgom.
Over the centuries
different rulers have added different forms of works to Banarasi fabric. During
the time of Mughal Empire, the work of Brocade and Zari were introduced. Zari is where the thread of real gold and silver was used to weave into the fabric.
Although, Banarasi Saris are the most
famous and common way of wearing this fabric, people wear it in all sorts of
different forms. For example, men wear Banarasi work Sherwani; women wear
Banarsi Shalwar Kameez, they mix and match the fabric with other fabrics and
works, they make Banarasi over coats, shawls, curtains for the rooms, cushion
covers for accented décor, table runners, and many other things.
