Detailed information:
Banarasi Sarees have been associated with the nakshabandha families which were brought to India by Muhammad bin Tughlaq during his reign during circa 1324-1352 AD. Later many weavers fled due to the fire in Gujarat to various parts of India.
During the reign of Akbar, master craftsman Khwaja Abdyl Sauad came to Banaras where he designed heddles of looms (gathwas) and many karkhanas (workshops) came into being. Many Persian motifs were also introduced. Historical references like Ain-i-Akhbari are there for the Banaras weavers who were called Noor Baaf or shining cloth weavers. Brocade evolved as the prime weaving style of Banaras and became one of the centres for export of its refined textiles in Gold and Silver.
Wide variety of silks are used including Chinya, Mukta and Tandoori, these are slightly coarse silk used for heavy brocades. Katan has two strands twisted together and used for the warps. Thread which is used to create a soft and smooth texture silk is Pat or Patbana.
