Benarasi Handloom Saris
The main techniques to weave a Benarasi fabric are Kadhua, Kadhiyal, Vaskat or Ektara, Tanchoi, and Dumpanch, to name a few. Getting a sari ready involves anywhere between a few days to many months depending on the complexity and intricacy of the design.
Presently only about 20,000 handloom weavers are left in this cluster, which is quite alarming for one of the highest forms of handwoven art.
