Last updated: 26 July 2026

Indian silk sarees vary by region — each weave carries a distinct border, weight, and occasion.

Banarasi

Brocade silk with zari from Varanasi. Heavy drape, bridal and wedding favourite. Dry clean only.

Kanjeevaram

Korvai temple-border weave from Kanchipuram. Contrasting pallu, pure mulberry silk. Investment bridal piece.

Mysore silk

Lightweight plain silk with subtle zari border. Easier drape for long celebrations.
