A silk saree is never just one thing — it is a Kanjivaram's temple border, a Banarasi's brocade, a soft silk's everyday ease. This hub gathers our full family of 13,000+ silk and silk-blend sarees and routes you straight to the weave you want.
One fabric, many looms
India's silk story runs through named weaving towns: Kanchipuram for temple-border Kanjivarams, Varanasi for brocaded Banarasis, Yeola for Paithani, Patan for Patola, Bhagalpur for wild Tussar. Alongside these classic traditions sits a newer generation of soft silks, satins, tissues and art-silk blends that bring the silk look within everyday budgets. We stock both — and we label them differently, because a blend is a blend and a classic weave has earned its name.

Silk sarees by occasion
Weddings and the bridal trousseau
For the mandap and the trousseau, look to korvai-border Kanjivarams, kadhua-woven Banarasis and heirloom-weight tissue weaves in the upper price bands. Deep reds, golds and temple maroons remain the classics; the Wedding Edit collects our strongest pieces in one place.
Festive days and puja mornings
Festive wear wants colour and zari without bridal weight. Patola-pallu weaves, dola and satin silks, and mid-weight Banarasis in the ₹3,000–₹7,500 bands carry a puja morning or a family dinner with ease.
Office and daily elegance
A matte soft silk or a fine Chanderi in a single quiet colour reads polished, never overdressed. Lighter bodies and slim borders travel well through a workday — the office edit below is pre-filtered for exactly this.
Receptions and evening parties
Evenings reward sheen: organzas, satins and tissues catch artificial light beautifully. Pair a high-gloss drape with minimal jewellery and let the fabric do the talking.
Know your silks: an honest buyer's guide
Mulberry silk is the cultivated standard — long, fine filaments reeled from the Bombyx mori cocoon. It is smooth, strong and lustrous, and it is what the classic Kanjivaram and Banarasi weaving traditions are built on.
Tussar (kosa) is a wild silk with a shorter fibre and a matte, honey-gold texture. It creases more readily than mulberry and is loved precisely for that raw, natural character.
Art silk and blended silk use viscose, polyester or mixed yarns to recreate silk's sheen at a fraction of the cost. Much of the affordable festive market — including many satin, dola and printed styles here — sits in this category. A good blend looks terrific; it simply should never be sold to you as pure silk, and we don't.
How to read our labels: "Premium Silk" marks our richest silk-content weaves; "Silk Blend", "Art Silk" and "Poly Silk" mean mixed or man-made yarns; "Printed Patola" or "Printed Madhubani" means the motif is printed rather than woven or hand-painted. The fabric named on the product page is the fabric you receive.

Zari — metallic thread, traditionally silver-gilt and today mostly tested or polyester zari, woven into borders and butis.

Pallu — the decorated end panel draped over the shoulder; the showpiece of any silk saree.

Korvai — the Kanjivaram technique of weaving a contrast border separately and interlocking it with the body.

Katan — plied, twisted silk warp yarn that gives Banarasis their firm, fine ground.
-
Pattu — simply "silk" in Tamil and Telugu; a pattu saree is the South's own name for a silk saree.
