2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship

The Banarasi saree traces its roots to the sacred ghats of Varanasi, where weaving has flourished since the 14th century under Mughal patronage. Known for its opulent zari, intricate brocades, and poetic motifs, Banarasi silk has adorned queens, brides, and cultural icons for generations.

Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi revives this legacy with a conscious twist—using eco-friendly Modal silk that reduces water consumption while preserving the grandeur of Banarasi craftsmanship. Each saree is a tribute to centuries-old handloom techniques passed down through families of weavers, now reimagined for today’s eco-aware, style-savvy woman.
