Silk Brocade Indian Fashion Accessory

The stunning brocades of India woven with silk and golden or silver metallic yarn can be found in Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, Paithan in Maharashtra, Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh (where silk is interwoven with cotton threads), the Ashavali saris of Ahmedabad in Gujarat, and the thicker Kanjeevaram silks of Tamil Nadu with their shimmering gold edgings. Floral, geometric and figurative designs cover scarves, stoles, saris and home furnishings in Varanasi but the other centres still produce only the traditional sari and shoulder cloths. The pattern-maker or naqqash is important in brocade weaving as he sets the pattern, colours and motifs to be woven on the entire fabric length.

There are a number of weaving techniques in traditional name such as guddi meena, kadwa, meenakari, Banarsi hunar, fekwa and katraua which help to identify the design for the weaver.
