Gadwal Saree: Originating from the ancient city of Varanasi (also known as Banaras) in Uttar Pradesh, Banarasi sarees are considered one of the finest and most luxurious in India. Known for their rich texture and intricate designs, these sarees often feature elaborate patterns such as floral motifs, paisleys, and architectural inspirations, with a heavy emphasis on gold or silver zari (metallic thread). The use of fine silk and the delicate craftsmanship make Banarasi sarees highly sought after, particularly for weddings and festive occasions.
