    1) Banarasi Saree – The Banarsi Sarees are woven in gold yarn and pure silk. It comes in bright shades with small motifs closely repeated all over the saree. Their special characteristics are Mughal inspired designs such as intricate intertwining floral and foliate motifs, kalga and bel, a string of upright leaves called jhallar at the outer, edge of border is a characteristic of these saris. A Banarasi sari is a sari made in Varanasi, a city which is also called Benares or Banaras.

    2) Kanjivaram Sarees – It is easy to differentiate the Kanjivaram Saree from the Banarsi Saree as the motifs on the pallu of this saree have temple borders, checks, stripes, floral and coin motifs. The borders are on the lengthwise direction and have been weaved by gold yarn the pallu also has a zigzag weave to section the pallu from the whole saree. Contrast colours are seen apart from gold weave threads, Orange & blue, Yellow and red, red and green, etc. It is the type of silk saree made in the Kancheepuram region in Tamil Nadu, India.
