Purple Banarasi sarees are Varanasi's royal register: wine, aubergine, violet and lavender grounds where gold zari takes on an almost antique glow.
Purple has long signalled rank and rarity, and the Banarasi loom exploits that beautifully — deep aubergines make brocade borders look gilded, while soft lavenders give traditional bootis an unexpectedly modern lightness. Because it sits between warm and cool, purple flatters in both daylight and banquet lighting, and it appears far less often at functions than red or pink, so a purple drape rarely meets its twin across the room.
Expect prices from roughly ₹2,750 for easy drapes to about ₹10,050 for richly woven handloom pieces across 500+ styles. Prices shown are regular list prices — seasonal offers applied automatically at checkout often bring them lower.
Styling suggestions
Amethyst or kundan jewellery mirrors the tone; gold blouses warm up wine shades while silver-grey blouses cool down violets. Keep the drape sleek so the colour leads.
Occasion fit
Receptions and evening sangeets are purple's natural stage, with deep wines doubling elegantly for anniversaries and formal dinners.
