Frequently asked questions
How should I store a Banarasi saree?
Wrap it in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, refold it every few months so the zari does not crease in one place, and keep it away from moisture.
Can I wear a Banarasi saree to a day function?
Yes. Lighter shades and softer silks look graceful at daytime events.
