Banarasi saris are saris made in Varanasi, a city which is also called “Benares.” These saris are historically considered to be among the finest saris in India and are known for their gold and silver brocade or zari, fine silk and opulent embroidery, and being highly sought after. Chikan is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Literally translated, the word means embroidery. Believed to have been introduced by Nur Jahan, Mughal Emperor Jahangir’s wife, it is one of Lucknow’s most famous textile decoration styles. Gorakhpur is known for red terracotta and exquisite clay figures of animals. Moradabad is renowned for brass work and has carved a niche for itself in the handicraft industry throughout the world. The modern, attractive, and artistic brassware, jewellery and trophies made by skilled artisans are the main crafts.
