The top quality silks used in Banarasi garments were originally brought to India from China; now, most designers source pure silk from Southern India. Banarasi brocades were traditionally done only on pure silk but over the years, they have expanded to include other fabrics as well. The four main varieties are Katan made with pure silk, Kora made with organza, georgette, and shattir. The brocade garments are embroidered with delicate silver and golden threads in a style known as ‘Zari’ work.
