Top 5 Banarasi Saree Draping Styles for Every Indian Festival

Banarasi sarees with their rich zari work and silk weaves make every Indian festival an experience of classic grace. Find out the 5 most popular draping styles of 9SlikenMagic to shine at Diwali, Eid or weddings.

Traditional Nivi Style

The standard Nivi can be worn in most of the festivals, such as Diwali, where Banarasi sarees glitter in the light. Begin by tucking the plain end at the waist, making pleats and going about the left shoulder. This is a lengthy style that allows the high-level brocade designs to shine through. Pair with a statement blouse and have a royal touch.

Bengali Style

The Bengali drape is ideal during Durga Puja or Holi, and it gives it a fun effect. Tuck the saree low at the center, pleat the front loosely, and let the pallu cascade seedha pallu-style behind. This emphasizes Banarasi motifs on the edge, which makes easy movement in the dances. Choose the colorful Jari collections of 9SlikenMagic to reflect the spirit of the holiday.

Seedha Pallu Gujarati Style

This straight pallu is a drape that is quite comfortable and elegant, and suited for Navratri garba nights. Stretch the piece of cloth at the waist, drag the pallu over the right shoulder in the back to the front. It displays the entire Banarasi length, so that the pallu does not slide when spinning. Add temple jewelry to give a natural appearance.

Modern Butterfly Style

The butterfly drape would be a nice twist to modern Karva Chauth or Eid. Tuck pleats are folded high around the belly button, unfolded fabric in the form of butterfly wings around the waist, and the pallu is loosely fastened. This edgy style flatters curves while displaying Banarasi shimmer. The lightweight silks make the style an effortless one to put on all day.

Lehenga Style

Elevate weddings or Onam to the next level by wearing the lehenga drape, which is like a flared skirt. Tuck and pleat the lower half in like a skirt, bunch the upper pallu over the shoulder. It gives the freedom of movement to celebrations, which highlights heavy zari pallus. Select 9SlikenMagic items to enjoy superb comfort.

The combination of tradition and versatility makes them the perfect place to wear all your Banarasi sarees, these drapes by 9SlikenMagic. These styles are confident to make fabric shine for years without fading. Celebrate every festival in style, embracing India's rich textile heritage.
