Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented an exquisite Banarasi silk stole to Akshata Murthy, the wife of UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, during their recent visit to New Delhi for the G20 Summit. The stole was presented in a 'kadam' (burflower tree) wooden box, known for its auspicious significance in Indian culture and mythology, handcrafted by artisans from Karnataka.
Banarasi silk stoles are revered as elegant treasures of India. These exquisitely handcrafted stoles are soft and luxurious, featuring intricate patterns that reflect the cultural richness and weaving heritage of the city. They are highly sought after for weddings and special occasions, adding a regal grace to the wearer with their shimmering texture and vibrant hues.
Whether draped over shoulders or worn as headscarves, Banarasi silk stoles exude timeless charm. They are coveted fashion accessories, and a 'Banarasi' dress is considered one of the most prized possessions in the wardrobe of well-dressed women in the subcontinent, according to local master weavers.
