History of Banarasi fabric
Banarasi Fabrics are considered to be one of its kind species because of extremely excellent artistry and craftsmanship. The Banarasi fabric demand had fallen some centuries ago however a steep demand was again witnessed during the mughal era. Craftsmanship of Banarasi Fabric was first introduced in India by the Mughals. The mughals are believed to have undertaken upon themselves to glorify the art of the Banarasi silk fabric into sarees.
The mughals are highly appreciated for inspiring few craftsmen to work in the intricate art of weaving the fabric. It is believed that the mughal era was the time when the beautiful art of weaving Banarasi silk fabric into Saree began in India.
