Kadhiyal Banarasi

Kadhiyal Banarasi sarees are distinguished by their signature contrast borders, created using a specialised handloom technique that weaves the body and border separately before interlocking them seamlessly on the loom. This traditional weaving method requires high precision and skill, making Kadhiyal one of the more technically demanding Banarasi styles.

Woven in Varanasi by experienced artisans, these sarees are known for their structured contrast pallu, defined colour separation, and intricate zari detailing. Unlike standard Banarasi weaves where the border is an extension of the body weave, Kadhiyal construction allows for sharper tonal contrasts and architectural clarity in design.

Traditionally chosen for weddings and ceremonial occasions, Kadhiyal Banarasi silk sarees carry both visual distinction and heritage value. The technique enhances durability at the border join while preserving the richness of classic Banarasi motifs, making each piece a statement of authentic handloom craftsmanship.
