What Makes a Mau Banarasi Saree Special

Banarasi silk has been celebrated for over five centuries, but few buyers know that a large portion of authentic Banarasi sarees are woven inside Mau — not just in Varanasi city. The looms of Mau produce some of the finest Katan, Tanchoi, Cutwork and Jamdani Banarasi sarees you can buy anywhere in India.

A Mau Banarasi saree typically uses pure mulberry silk in both warp and weft, with motifs hand-woven using gold or silver-coated zari. The pallu is heavy, the borders are intricate, and the body carries traditional bootis like the kalga, bel, jhallar or shikargah.

Mau vs. Varanasi: The Same Tradition, Different Looms

Mau and Varanasi are sister-cities in the saree weaving belt of eastern Uttar Pradesh. Designs flow freely between the two — many sarees marketed in Varanasi showrooms are actually woven in Mau and finished or polished in Varanasi.

By sourcing your Mau Banarasi saree directly from KashiAura's Mau facility, you cut out 3–4 layers of intermediaries (loom owner → wholesaler → showroom → retailer). The same Katan saree is often available at 25–40% below retail showroom pricing.

How to Identify a Genuine Mau Banarasi Saree

Genuine Banarasi silk feels cool and smooth, with a soft sheen rather than a plastic gloss. Hold the saree against light — you should see fine warp-weft alignment and small irregularities that confirm handloom craftsmanship.

Real zari, when rubbed, will not flake. The reverse side of a handwoven Banarasi shows clean float patterns of the design. Every KashiAura Mau Banarasi saree ships with a tag mentioning the weaver code, fabric composition and care instructions.

Care for Your Mau Banarasi Saree

Always dry-clean pure Banarasi silk. Avoid direct sunlight during storage. Wrap the saree in a soft cotton or muslin cloth, refold every 3–4 months to avoid permanent crease lines on zari motifs.

Our care guide goes into detail on washing, storage and re-polishing of Banarasi sarees from Mau.
