Making of a Banarasi Silk Saree
An ideal banarasi saree factory comprises of around 5600 thread wires, all of them within
45-inch wide. In case of weaving the warp, the craftsmen make the base, which
is around 24 to 26 m long. One of the most important aspects of weaving banarasi saree for marriage of

creation of the saree. One of them weaves the saree, while the second one is
engaged at the revolving ring, where bundles are created and the third in
assisting the border designing.
At the time of bundling a new process of designing the
motifs begins. For creating design boards, an artist sketches the design on a graph paper, along
with color concepts. Before selecting the final design, punch cards are
created. A single design of an Indian banarasi saree fashion requires
hundreds of perforated cards for the implementation of the idea. Different
threads and colours are used on the loom to knit the prepared perforated cards.
The knit perforated cards are then paddled in a systematic manner. This is done
to ensure that the main weaving picks up the right colors and pattern.
