- The silk floor covers Kanchipuram and Kanjeevaram silk sarees, Banarasi silk sarees, pure Mysore silk crape and softer traditional silks, alongside bridal, designer and festive collections. Stock changes through the year, so it is worth messaging us before a long trip.
Do you have Kanchipuram silk sarees?
- Yes. Kanchipuram silk sarees are one of the collections we keep on the floor, in traditional contrast-border styles and ceremonial colours. Availability of specific colours varies, so tell us the shade and occasion and we will confirm what is in store.
Do you have Kanjeevaram silk sarees for weddings?
- We do. Customers usually ask for Kanjeevaram silks for the muhurtham and other main ceremonies, where a heavier weave and a rich zari pallu are preferred. Bring the function dates and we can suggest pieces for the bride and the family together.
Can I find Banarasi sarees in Bengaluru?
- Yes — our Byadarahalli store keeps Banarasi sarees alongside South Indian silks. They are a popular choice for receptions and sangeets because the brocade weave looks rich while the drape stays comparatively light.
Which sarees are suitable for bridal wear?
- Most brides choose a traditional silk saree for the ceremony — commonly a Kanchipuram or Kanjeevaram silk in red, maroon or a deep jewel tone — and something lighter such as a Banarasi or designer drape for the reception. We open both side by side so you can judge weight and fall before deciding.
What is the difference between Kanchipuram and Banarasi silk sarees?
- Kanchipuram sarees come from the South Indian weaving tradition and are known for a firm silk body with a distinct contrast border and temple or peacock motifs. Banarasi sarees come from the North Indian tradition around Varanasi and are known for brocade jaal work and floral butis woven across the body. Kanchipuram silks generally feel heavier; Banarasi silks often drape lighter.
Where can I shop for traditional silk sarees near Byadarahalli?
