The genesis of the Banarasi Saree comes from the ancient city of Varanasi, which is an auspicious tribute to India's unmatched and good legacy of silk weaving; this includes creating real silk sarees for women, which were traced to have been nurtured during the Mughal era and were fiercely supported by the royal and accepted by the masses, incorporating local craftsmanship methods with motifs of Persian culture, among all others.

Among the variety of sarees, the Banarasi silk saree for women is said to be a pinnacle in artistry, with the vibrancy of the colors truly placating the serenity and depth it possesses; thus, it is a loved product among royals and the crème de la crème of the bygone era.

In Indian culture, black has been more of a paradoxical colour. It has been both celebrated and debated. Hindu mythology claims that the color black is that of the fiery goddess Kali, who rages against the established norms and is culturally very important from both protective and spiritual experience aspects.

Black represents more than just a color; it is also a state of mind. It embodies that activity, which is sybaritically bold but sophisticated and understatedly confident to speak louder than an oversized embroidered accessory. Whether you are trying to ward off the evil eye or modernistically symbolize black, it has a bipolar signification that makes it a timelessly dominant force.

Some sarees can be worn, while some sarees can be treasured. Ours belongs to that category. A black Banarasi saree from Priyanka Raajiv is not just another ethnic wear.
