TRADITIONAL WEDDING SAREES – BANARASI
Banarasi is the one saree that unites
the whole of India. Banaras or Varanasi has had a special place & emotion
in Hindu culture and Indian lives for centuries. The Banarasi saree originates
from this historically & culturally significant place.
This saree becomes pure due to its
connection to the town where the sacred Ganges flows. India is a land with
people who take pride in the country’s rich culture, traditions & places. And
Banarasi saree is associated with the sacred city of Banaras. It becomes
essential to wear it for a good occasion.
Earlier, kings or members of the
royal family left for Kashi to live in god’s presence in their final days. They
would have visitors coming over. These guests would get gorgeous Banarasi
sarees as return gifts as a remembrance. These same gifted sarees would then be
strutted back home as a beautiful gift from a sacred place. This aspect adds
value to the saree’s holiness.
It makes the Banarasi sarees an
essential part of every Indian wedding. This Mahavastra, as it is known, cuts
across caste and religion to be a symbol of Indian heritage. The best part is
that its dyeing process happens in the river. Many feel the river’s holiness gets
incorporated into the saree.
Since 2002, Swamini Saree has
been selling traditional sarees like Banarasi sarees. The owners and staff
specially visit Varanasi to get the finest Banarasi sarees straight from the
weavers. This tradition continues.
A Banarasi saree is characterised
by the traditional वेल बुट्टी. The delicate Pallu & design or Kalamkari on the border
fills the saree.
The Maharashtrian bride wears
this saree as a Shaloo during the wedding. The colours preferred are just like
the bright colours of Paithani, from carrot coloured and magenta to dark pink,
red and maroon.
In earlier times, the weavers
would weave the words – Saubhagyavati
Bhava – on the Pallu. The concept was the bride would be carrying her
parent's blessings from the wedding into her married life. This concept has
gotten lost with time. Swamini Saree is thinking of bringing this saree style &
legacy back for the next generation.
Apart from the traditional saree
and a bit of fusion, the latest trend to storm the saree market is the delicate
Khaddi Georgette Banarasi Saree. This pure georgette saree has silver Banarasi
zari work throughout. This stronger Khaadi or handloom saree comes in deep
colours like red, maroon, carrot colour, bottle green, etc. They are becoming popular
due to their refinement and lighter weight.
Our next blog will focus on the vast
world of South Indian Sarees – Kanjeevaram, Mysore Silk & Pochampally. Till
then, visit Swamini Saree – Sadiyon Ki Maharani for the most exclusive &
exquisite sarees. Happy Shopping!
