Lily Purple Banarasi Silk saree

The Lily Purple Banarasi Silk Saree is a handwoven masterpiece from Varanasi — the city synonymous with India's finest silk brocade weaving. The soft lilac-purple base is worked with real zari threads in traditional Banarasi motifs of paisleys, florals, and geometric jaalwork in the pallu and border, creating a saree of quiet grandeur suited to festive and bridal occasions.

Fabric and Craft

Banarasi silk has been woven in Varanasi (Banaras) for centuries, a craft that combines dyed silk warp threads with real silver-wire zari on a pit loom. The defining quality of authentic Banarasi is the zari brocade — real silver alloy thread with gold plating interwoven with silk to create raised, textured motifs. Lily purple is a romantic, sophisticated colour that sits beautifully against the warm gold of zari. The weaving of a Banarasi saree is labour-intensive, with skilled kaarigars spending days to weeks on a single piece, particularly for elaborate pallu designs.

Occasion Guide

Suited for weddings, receptions, festive celebrations, and religious ceremonies. Lily purple is a versatile formal colour, equally at home at a daytime wedding ceremony and an evening reception. Pairs naturally with gold or polki jewellery and a contrasting blouse in gold, cream, or deep green.

Care Instructions

Dry clean recommended. Store flat in a clean white muslin cloth. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture. Air out every 3 months to protect the silk and zari. Never wring or fold along the zari sections.
