Benaras weavers struggle to preserve sari heritage

Nilambari Saris is a family business from Benaras that makes beautiful, handcrafted saris.

These saris take a long time to make and are very special because they carry traditions from mothers to daughters.

However, fewer young people are wearing saris these days because they find them hard to put on and prefer easier, modern clothes.

The Selot family, who run Nilambari, are sad to see this change.

They believe saris are not just clothes but pieces of art that tell stories.

They sell their saris at exhibitions and have stores in Delhi and Hyderabad.

They hope to open a store in Calcutta one day but need more family members to help.
