After our arrival we took a trip to a silk factory as Varanasi is well known for their silk. It is used to make saris,scarves,wall tapestry,bedspreads, and more.The silk is all made by hand and the looters teach their children the craft so it is a family business.It is amazing how long it takes these workers
To make even a yard if silk. Wedding saris are made here, each unique and very ornate. The bride wears a red sari.

Finished! I felt so exotic in my sari...I have a bindi too! ( look between my eyebrows.)
So much silk...so many patterns and colors... What to choose?
Kapal helps me choose some beautiful silk fabric to make me some beautiful things. I should get them by the end of July.
