Woven in Varanasi with love
Panaya was born from one belief — authentic Banarasi
craftsmanship belongs in every Indian home.
Our weavers work at pit looms in the ancient lanes of
Varanasi, using techniques passed down across four
generations. No shortcuts. No machines. Just hands,
thread, and time.
Every saree takes 3 days to 3 weeks to complete —
each one a living piece of art. When you buy from
Panaya, your money goes directly to the artisan
family that made it.
