Banarasi brocade sarees are made of finally woven silk and decorated with intricate designs using zari . this ornamentation is what makes the sarees heavy. their special characteristics are mughal-inspired designs/elements such as intricate floral and foliate motifs, such as kalga and bel buta. you can check the authenticity by merely looking at the reverse side of the saree.
