The Heritage of Big Border Banarasis
The tradition of wide borders comes from royal patronage and ceremonial dressing where a pronounced frame was used to accentuate status and ceremony. Varanasi's weavers developed elaborate border motifs, temple patterns, paisleys and floral jaals, that read magnificently in larger formats.
Unique Features of Big Border Banarasis
- Wide Ornate Borders: Dominant frames that define the saree's character.
- Dense Zari Work: Heavy metallic threadwork that enhances ceremonial presence.
- Contrast Pallus: Pallus designed to complement wide borders for visual balance.
- Structured Fabrics: Often woven in Katan or heavier silks to support the border weight.
For alternatives with subtler framing, explore small-border styles.
Styling Tips
