As a kid, I was fascinated by my grandmother\u2019s collection of handwoven sarees. (After thoroughly examining the inhabitants of my own \u2018saree closet\u2019 now, I think I was genetically predisposed to hoarding these handcrafted sartorial marvels.) But as much as I loved the demure chanderi<\/em>s and supple linens and beautiful pochampalli<\/em>s, they seldom kept me awake at night, imagining when and how I\u2019d wear them. No, that spot was reserved for her indigo blue banarasi silk saree which was inundated with six-petal flower buttis in what they called a \u2018Ganga-Jamuna threadwork\u2019. Like that wasn\u2019t enough, the pallu<\/em> came with paisley designs.<\/p>\r\n

That saree singlehandedly upstaged the collective wardrobes of all the women in the family and left us vying for a chance to make it our own. And because I cited my marriage as an occasion to drape that hand-me-down, I won.<\/p>\r\n

Of course, that saree will never see the light of the day for all the selfish reasons, but if you, too, want a heritage banarasi outfit that your future generations will fight about, I can guarantee you\u2019ll find one in the list ahead.<\/p>\r\n
