concepts. I have not included any of the original picture but the

4.  Varanasi is an Indian state located on the banks of the river Ganga in
Uttar Pradesh. Varanasi is the spiritual capital of India. It is often
referred to as "the holy city of India", "the religious capital of India",
"the city of Shiva", and "the city of learning". Scholarly books have
been written in the city, including the Ramcharitmanas of Tulsidas.
Today, there is a temple of his namesake in the city, the Tulsi Manas
Mandir. The current temples and religious institutions in the city are
dated to the 18th century.

5.  Textiles of Banaras yesterday and today is the product of a deep
research of this textile industry since the distant past up to our times.
They use various types of cloth weaving and the techniques employed
like making of the threads dyeing, stretching the wrap, polishing tools
used etc and also the handicrafts such as embroideries like Karchohi,
Zardozi etc.

6. DESIGN CONCEPT I
QUILT
The concept has been generated keeping in
mind the changing demands against fashion
of the people and also promoting the textile
industry of Banaras as there would be more
ideas and designs involved in a single piece of
quilt. The inspiration has been taken from
the picture at the side.
The quilt is thus conceptualized, it would be
convertible and both the sides of the quilt
would have different Banaras design on it
that would help the people to change the side
of the quilt when they are bored of one.

7.  The prints I would be incorporating in the quilt have been presented in
form of swatches below.
Both the prints would be used on each side of the quilt individually to give
it a new and creative look.

no. of things including Cushions, Curtains, Sofa Covers, Table Mats, Floor

10. DESIGN CONCEPT III
MODERN DRESSES
Realizing that the Banaras prints and motifs
look beautiful and attractive on the Saris and
ethnic wear, I decided to bring the same on
the contemporary dresses and got inspired
from the idea on the side to relive the culture
and realize the importance of the Banaras
textiles.
The motifs could be used on a number of
apparels such as Long Skirt, Short Dresses,
Long Dresses and also somehow, use it in
different ways such as the prints only on the
collars of the shirt, end of the pants, back of
the blouse coupled with plane sari.

11.  The prints I would be incorporating in the Dresses have been presented
in form of swatches below.
Either of the print could be used on the dresses of any kind as the prints
have been selected in a way that would give Classy look to the garment.

12. DESIGN CONCEPT IV
FURNITURE
The concept generated while sitting on the
chair, Why not bring the Banaras prints and
motifs on the furniture and hence, took the
inspiration from the picture on the side.
They could be used on the cushions that are
placed on Chair, the Sofas even there are
tables that have soft part on the top, the
patterns could also be incorporated there.
This would not only promote the textile of
Banaras but also would give design another
direction.

13.  The prints I would be incorporating in the furniture have been
presented in form of swatches below.
Either of the print could be used on the furniture such as Chairs, Tables,
sofas and many more and the motifs are sophisticated and simple to
keep the room looking elegant. Moreover, the motifs would also gel with
any random color of the walls.

FOOT MAT
Keeping in mind, the design choice of the high end people and the

concept has been taken from the above picture.

15.  The prints I would be incorporating in the high end designer products
