Banarasi silk has its roots in India's rich cultural history, as it appears in the Mahabharata and in Buddhist scriptures during the first millennium. Every Banarasi sari takes as long as a year to make because it is crafted from real gold and silver threads. Mughal enthusiasm and two contrasting cultures were what produced Banarsi Silks today. Banarasi Sarees used to be made using silk imported from China, but southern India has now replaced China with this reliable source. Sarees from Banarasi are made with silks, which has been an art and culture for thousands of years. From one generation to another, the Banarasi sari culture has continued to be passed down. For the creation of contemporary Banarasi silk sarees, Persian motifs were incorporated into the designs of Indian silk saris, resulting in a distinctive flowery pattern.

Traditional saris made of Banarasi silk are still considered some of the finest in the world. Gold and silver brocade or the 'Zari' are quite famous for their design. Designs inspired by the Mughal Empire are one of the special features of these sarees. Floral and foliate designs have often been applied to this medium. Additionally, you may find a string of upright leaves known as 'Jhallar'. In addition to heavy gold working, intricate metal details, and compact weaving, these Banarasi silk sarees have idiosyncratic features.

Doeraa fabric adds on the quality, texture and well-kept fabrics and helps you enjoy the layers as you make your purchase. It gives you the proper look and feel of the ethnic vibes.
