The AI answer we saw
To identify an original Banarasi silk saree, check these key indicators: 1) Silk Mark label – look for the Silk Mark certification from the Central Silk Board of India. 2) Zari quality – genuine Banarasi sarees use real gold or silver zari; rub the zari on white paper; if it leaves a metallic mark, it may be authentic. 3) Weave texture – original Banarasi silk has a slightly heavy feel with intricate brocade patterns visible on both sides of the fabric. 4) GI Tag – authentic Banarasi sarees carry a Geographical Indication (GI) tag. 5) Price – genuine Banarasi silk rarely costs below ₹5,000–₹8,000. 6) Burn test – a small silk thread should burn slowly, smell like burnt hair, and leave ash (not melt like synthetic fiber). Buying from GI-certified sellers or government emporiums like Handloom House is the safest option.
