Dharohar weaves is an initiative to preserve the heritage of Banarasi weaving art. We aim to protect the dying art and revive it to its previous glory by promoting the age-old tradition of draping Banarasi handloom.
“Dharohar”is a Hindi word that holds deep significance in the context of Indian culture and heritage. It represents the traditions, customs, and historical legacy passed down through generations. Embodying this essence, Dharohar weaves is an initiative founded by Dr. Priyanka, a practicing diabetologist and Director of Satkriti Hospitals Private Limited, Varanasi, with a mission to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Banarasi weaving art.
Dr. Priyanka’s inspiration for Dharohar weaves came from her encounters with struggling weavers (Bunkars) during her medical practice. These weavers shared heart-wrenching stories about their harsh working conditions, exploitation by intermediaries, and their art’s diminishing value. Many revealed they no longer wished their children to inherit this craft due to the lack of respect, fair pay, and opportunities. Touched deeply by their plight, Dr. Priyanka felt a calling to make a difference.
Balancing her roles as a diabetologist and hospital director, she embarked on a mission to take Banarasi weaving to a global platform, ensuring the world recognizes its intricate beauty and cultural significance. Through Dharohar weaves , Dr. Priyanka strives to uplift weavers livelihoods by providing them with a direct platform to showcase and sell their masterpieces nationally and internationally, bypassing exploitative middlemen.

“Banarasi handlooms are not just drapes ; they are living testimony to our rich cultural heritage .My journey with Banarasi handlooms began when I witnessed the profound dedication and artistry of the weavers.Every visit to a weaving cluster feels like a symphony of creativity ,with the rhythmic sounds of looms weaving stories of resilience and passion .It pains me to see this marvelous art form not receiving the respect it deserves.
