From traditional Banarasi Zari and Kadhwa Booti sarees to Tanchoi silk sarees, these are priced between Rs 1000 to Rs 5000.

Many weavers from Bhagalpur, Bihar, which is famous for silk weaving, have brought Bhagalpuri silk sarees to fulfill the wedding season demand. The Kanjeevaram sarees of pure zari work from Tamil Nadu are also being liked by women. Artisans prepare this saree made of gold and silver wires in 30 to 40 days. Along with Mysore silk saris, crepe, and georgette silk, tussar silk from Bihar, upada from Andhra Pradesh, and coral silk from Orissa have also been brought to the exhibition by weavers. BW
