Brocade is a class of richly decorative shuttle-woven fabrics, often made in colored silks and with or without gold and silver threads.

Brocade is typically woven on a draw loom. It is a supplementary weft technique.

The ornamental brocading is produced by a supplementary, non-structural, weft, in addition to the standard weft that holds the warp threads together.

The purpose of this is to give the appearance that the weave was actually embroidered on.

Banarasi brocade work is a weaving style of the silk weavers of Varanasi, a city in North India.

Varanasi is also called Benares, Banaras, Varanasi or Kashi.

The Banarasi silk Sarees are among the finest Sarees in India.

These Sarees are known for their gold and silver  Brocade or Zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery.

The Sarees are made of finely woven silk and are decorated with intricate designs.
