Brocade is a
rich fabric that is woven with a raised and elaborate design, often using gold,
silver or zari threads. The Banarasi handloom fabrics are known for their pure
silk and zari brocades. The borders and pallus are generally ornamented with
silk and rich heavy zari work in exquisite designs. Ashrafi, guldasta, ambi, latifa, bel-butta
are some of the popular motifs used for brocades and woven with embroidery
styles like zardozi, Aari, Gota, Kohra. Mughal inspired
patterns are also employed such as intricate floral intertwining, leaves,
string of upright leaves known as Jhallar, mostly at the edges and border.
Other brocade adornments constitute items like small detailed figures, metallic
visual effects, Jal or Net pattern, Mina work. The richness of
the brocades heightens the grand, dazzling effect of the Banarasi fabrics, at
the same time also contributing to the overall weight. Sometimes precious and
semi-precious stones, sequins, beading also are used to adorn brocades. Brocades
are woven using supplementary weft technique to make it appear like the weave
is embroidered on. The jacquard arrangement on looms is generally used for such
purpose.
