Bhojpur & Purvanchal · Middle & Lower Gangetic Plain
The region weaves what the rest of India gets married in. Banarasi brocade — silk with gold and silver thread — is the standard north Indian wedding textile, woven overwhelmingly by Muslim weaving families in Varanasi, Mubarakpur and Mau and sold overwhelmingly through Hindu trading houses, an arrangement that has held for centuries and remains the region's most consequential economic fact.
क्या पहना जाता है
Silk brocade in katan, organza, georgette or shattir, worked with zari in jangla, tanchoi, cutwork, tissue and butidar patterns. The wedding sari of northern India, and increasingly of the south too.
किस मौके पर: Weddings and formal
White or checked cotton with a gamchha over the shoulder. In Bhojpur the gamchha is close to an identity marker and travels everywhere its wearer does.
किस मौके पर: Everyday and ritual
Cotton for daily wear, drawn over the head, with silk for weddings and Chhath.
किस मौके पर: Everyday
The dress of Varanasi's Ansari weaving quarters — Madanpura, Alaipura and Lallapura — where much of the brocade is actually made.
किस मौके पर: Everyday and Friday
