Banarsi Saree itself contains various styles like katan (pure silk), organza with golden thread (zari) work and georgette. The major attraction of these sarees is its colourful dying of silk fabric. Their designs have the essence of the traditional folk art. They come in all shades. These sarees are quite heavy due to their rich embroidery.
