Store Location & Physical Visits
Where is Shree Banarasi Sarees located?
Shree Banarasi Sarees is located at Rudauli Chowk, Harpur Aloth, Samastipur, Bihar – 848103, India. Our showroom is prominently situated along the main highway route and is easily accessible from Samastipur Junction (~12 minutes).
Do you have a physical store?
Yes! We operate a full-scale physical retail showroom in Samastipur, Bihar. It houses hundreds of authentic handloom Banarasi silk sarees, bridal lehenga sarees, festive Chikankari, Gujarati Bandhani, and contemporary organza drapes.
Can I visit the store?
Absolutely! We welcome walk-in customers and families daily. Our showroom hours are Monday to Sunday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM (including Sundays). You can inspect the fabrics in natural daylight, test the drape, and avail in-person styling consultations.
Online Shopping & Product Availability
Do you sell sarees online?
Yes, our complete live inventory is available for online purchase on this website (shreebanarasisarees.in). You can browse by fabric, color, occasion, or price, add sarees to your bag, and order with Cash on Delivery and doorstep inspection.
How can I know whether a product is available?
Every saree listed on our website is synced with our Samastipur showroom shelves. If a saree shows an active 'Add to Bag' button, it is currently in stock. If an item is sold out, it will be marked as 'Out of Stock' with an option to receive a notification or enquire via WhatsApp.
Are Banarasi sarees handmade?
Yes, our genuine Banarasi silk sarees are woven on traditional pit looms and jacquard handlooms in artisan clusters of Varanasi. Authentic handloom sarees possess subtle weave variations and soft zari edges that distinguish them from mass-produced synthetic replicas.
Why can saree colours look slightly different?
Natural silk yarns and metallic zari reflect light dynamically. While we photograph all sarees in dedicated studio lighting without artificial beautification filters, slight visual differences may occur due to varying smartphone/computer display color temperatures, brightness levels, and ambient lighting.
