WEAVER'S AREA WALK

Silk weaving is a thousand years old industry in Varanasi. Varanasi is known throughout India for its production of very fine silk and Banarasi saris. Weaving is typically done within the household, and most weavers in Varanasi are Muslims.  For generations they have passed on their craft from father to son, hand-weaving silk on room-sized foot-powered looms. They are fashioned into Saris worn only for special occasions; many Indian girls dream of wearing Varanasi silk Sari for their wedding day.
