Amidst lockdowns and inflation, and after years of neglect, the weavers are struggling to make ends meet. As Uttar Pradesh goes to polls, Citizen Journalist Saurabh Singh speaks to craftsmen on the challenges they are facing, and what they expect from the government.

I love these sarees
And when I become capable i will surely do something for these trades because they are the one who preserved our traditions till now by facing many challenges hatts off to these people
And it's our responsibility (means all indians to preserve our traditions)
So we all have to promise that we will do it at any cost
BECAUSE THIS IS OUR INDIA
AND WE ARE INDIANS

Benarasi saree is almost a mandatory thing in Bengali Hindu marriage. The bride wears it on the day of her marriage and even in marriage reception ceremony

Very painful situation of our ancient traditional saree weavers of Banaras. Government should help to resque our weivers.
