Think before buying Banarasi Saree
Banarasi saris have been a pride and part of rich Indian traditional culture since the era of Mughals. Normally, people are not able to distinguish between an original Banarasi sari and cheap imitations of Banarasi sarees. A normal original Banarasi Saree costs anywhere near 3,500 rupees whereas as a fake one is about 2,000 rupees almost half the price.
Here are few tips to identify an original Banarasi sari from a fake one!
1) When you go to buy a Banarasi saree just pull its other side up i.e. reverse the saree to check for floats between the grids of warps and wefts on the saree.
2) Another way to identify a real Banarasi saree is to check for a six to eight inches long patch of plain silk on the Pallu of the Banarasi saree. A plus is that portion of the saree that goes over the shoulder.
