The Muniya (parrot) border is one of the most beloved motifs in Indian weaving — the parrot is a symbol of love and festivity, and appears across traditions from Paithani to Banarasi. Here, Varanasi weavers have interpreted the paithani-style arched border in the Banarasi brocade idiom, combining the finest threads with the technical mastery of the Banaras loom.
