Banarsi Sari

Is it still in fashion? heard that for ages Banaras was famous for its saris all over India.

Re: Banarsi Sari

:hmmm: no one knows about Banarsi Saris. Anyone heard about Banarsi Thugs?

Re: Banarsi Sari

yes banarasi sarees are still worn by ladies..during different family functions.....

in our part its called banarasi shalu......some times silver used for work on banarasi sarees thats what i know...

Re: Banarsi Sari

silver work. That might made the expensive.

I read that in old days printing work on Banarsi Saris was done in Delhi.

Why Sarees of Banaras are popular? Due to cloth material or what?

Re: Banarsi Sari

now, better call it "Varanasi Saarees" or else you will be criticised by shudh Bhartis! :D

yes, i think on weddings, those who wear saaris, prefer Banarasii saarees. shaadii emN dulhan ko bil-zaroor saaRiyaan dii jaatii haiN! :)

Re: Banarsi Sari

KKF any idea, how much a reasonable Banarsi Sari costs? Is it also popular among Muslim ladies?

Re: Banarsi Sari

Re: Banarsi Sari

muqa bhai, kahan kahan say batain latain hai.;)

Re: Banarsi Sari

STA ye koh kaaf ki baten to nahin... :@:

Re: Banarsi Sari


of course, Muslims are one of the biggest buyers of these saaRiis and to ur surprise lemme add that the entire business of saaRii making is in the hands of Muslims.

i would say may be Rs. 10,000 at the top end while Rs. 5000 at the lower end...all Rupess are in Indian Rupees.

Re: Banarsi Sari

wo wali saree jis main badan nazar aaye woh ghair islami hai. mager ager proper parda kay sath pehni jaye to halal hai. baqi main bhi suna hai kay gheer islami hai. mager abhi tak sure nahi hon. i will search authentic fatwa, but at the moment i never worried about it, but will find for you if you are in need. :chai:
