Banaras and Semi Banaras Sarees

Banarasi and Semi-Banarasi sarees are both crafted in Varanasi, India, known for its rich weaving heritage, but they differ in fabric and design. Banarasi sarees, traditionally, are pure silk with intricate weaving and zari (gold or silver threads) work. Semi-Banarasi sarees are a modern variation, often combining silk with other materials like cotton or synthetic fibers, making them lighter, more affordable, and suitable for both formal and semi-formal events.
