2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

Banarasi sarees trace their roots back over 2,000 years to the sacred ghats of Varanasi (Benares), where Mughal influences merged with Indian textile artistry. Historically woven for royalty using gold and silver zari, these sarees symbolized opulence and grace. Today, Saree Story with Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi honors this heritage by collaborating directly with 4th-generation weavers—preserving intricate jhallar, kalga, and bel motifs while making Banarasi beauty accessible to modern women through our Budget Weave collection. Every thread tells a story of resilience, culture, and feminine power.
