Banarasi Kimkhwab Saree |
Hello beauties! What comes to your mind when you
hear “Banarasi Saree”? For a Bengali, Banarasi saree (Or as we call it
Benaroshi Sharee) has been THE choice for brides since time immemorial. The
vibrant silks majorly in colours of red, blue and pinks with intricate golden
zari weave has been the ultimate choice of Bengali brides. Even I had chosen
two such sarees for my wedding and reception (Read HERE and HERE). But for a
handloom saree lover like myself, just owning one or two such royal sarees from
Banaras was not enough. I needed to know more about such deep-rooted beautiful handwoven
magic attire. So I have been reading quite a lot about Banarasi sarees since
the last few months and found out about the various kinds of Banarasi sarees
available since the glorious past. One such type of Banarasi saree weave is the
“Kimkhwab” (Kimkhaab) weave.
