Tissue Banarasi

A Tissue Banarasi saree is a luxurious and elegant type of saree that originates from the city of Varanasi (Banaras) in Uttar Pradesh, India. These sarees are known for their lightweight, shimmering fabric, which gives them a unique appearance, almost like a "glow" or "sheen." The term "tissue" refers to the delicate, translucent fabric that is often woven with gold or silver threads, adding to the opulence of the saree. Key Features of Tissue Banarasi Saree: Fabric : The fabric used in a Tissue Banarasi saree is made from a fine silk or a blend of silk and metallic threads (gold/silver). It’s lighter and more delicate than traditional Banarasi silk, making it easier to drape and wear for long hours. Woven Patterns : Just like other Banarasi sarees, the tissue sarees often feature intricate designs. Traditional motifs include floral patterns, paisleys, and architectural elements, which are typically woven into the fabric using gold or silver zari (metallic threads). The weaving is done using the "kadhwa" technique, where each motif is woven separately. Shimmering Effect : The use of metallic threads gives the saree a shimmering or radiant effect,
