The Banarasi Gaddi Experience

In Banaras, a gaddi is a traditional saree showroom where you sit comfortably on a cushioned platform as sarees are unfolded before you, one by one. Colours, textures and intricate weaves come to life as you feel the silk, explore the details and take your time choosing.

At Hikayat, this experience is about conversation, personal attention and the joy of finding a piece that feels like you. These moments with our customers offer a little glimpse into life at our gaddi.
