Ayodhya and the surrounding Faizabad district have a weaving tradition distinct from Varanasi. The focus here is often on lighter fabrics suitable for the humid climate.
Ayodhya silk sarees often feature 'Butis' (small motifs) of bows and arrows, temple spires, or floral patterns. The colors tend to be auspicious yellows, oranges, and reds. There is also a strong tradition of handloom cotton weaving.
Supporting these weavers helps revive a textile tradition that has often been overshadowed by its larger neighbor.
