within the house, and most weavers in Varanasi are Muslims. Varanasi is famous
throughout India for its making of very well silk and Banarasi sarees, which
are a lot used for marriages and particular instances. Lots of Varanasi's
Muslims belong to a weaver community that famous by the name of Ansari, which stands
"helper" in Arabic. For generations they have passed on their expertise
from father to son, hand-weaving silk on room-sized foot-powered looms. They
