Jataka Fables for Banarasi Silk Sarees

He had heard of the pure banarasi silk saree from the town of Banaras matched only by the Hiranya, a cloth of gold mentioned in the Rig Veda. Banaras was his pilgrimage because Banaras draped itself in the beauty of the arts. But, the wandering minstrel had heard whispers of other tales. The story of a weaver who had tried to weave light into gold and do what only the gods had done. People had been shocked because the belief was that one should never try to achieve perfection.
