In this time, Mughal or Muslim craftsmen and artisans choose Banaras to start their intricate weaving business. They blend their art well with silk Banarasi saris and formed more variants such as pure silk (Katan), Shattir, Organza (Kora), and Georgette. Check out the heavy differences between them and jot down the details before heading to online shopping. 1. Katan Kind of plain fabric, Katan is woven in pure silk threads that follow the twist and weave technique. Nowadays, they are produced in power looms and rapid looms whereas, in ancient times, Katan sarees were woven through hands or using handlooms.

Georgette This is one of the lightest and finest creations in the Banarasi saree collection. These finely woven light fabric saris showcase simple and plain weave yet intricate design. Even many renowned designers have also prepared georgette sarees with the amalgamation of silk borders and other types of designs. This type of fabric is crafted out of crepe yarn using S twisted and Z twisted technique. The fabrics are inter-woven with both warp and weft formula. They are now the most popular among contemporary women as well. 4.
