The Lanes of Varanasi Behind Every Panaya Saree
Your saree is not made in a factory. It is made in a narrow lane, on a hand loom, by a family that has been weaving for generations. Here are the actual mohallas (neighbourhoods) where our karigars live and work.
Lallapura
Known for: Katan silk & zari brocade weaving
One of the oldest weaving lanes in Varanasi. Our Katan silk sarees with heavy zari work come from a small group of looms here, run by families who have woven for over four generations.
"Aapki saree iss gali se aayi hai."
Madanpura
Known for: Tissue silk & fine Jaal patterns
A dense weaving neighbourhood where most homes still have a pit loom in the front room. Our tissue silk and intricate Jaal-pattern sarees are woven here, often taking over a month per piece.
"Aapki saree iss gali se aayi hai."
Alaipura
Known for: Kadwa booti & Tanchoi weaving
An old, historic weaving lane known for the Kadwa technique, where each motif is woven separately by hand instead of being repeated mechanically. Our Kora silk sarees with Kadwa booti work come from here.
"Aapki saree iss gali se aayi hai."
Jaitpura
Known for: Jamdani & brocade weaving
One of the oldest and most historic weaving zones in Varanasi, traditionally known for fine Jamdani and brocade work. Several of our heavier, festive-occasion sarees are woven by families settled in this lane.
"Aapki saree iss gali se aayi hai."
We work directly with karigars in these mohallas — no middlemen, no anonymous factories. When you buy from Panaya, you are buying directly from the family that wove it.
