This city is Varanasi, in India.
It's famous for its beautiful saris.
Saris are women's dresses.
Now, there aren't many sari makers.
And their life isn't easy.
Machines and cheap clothes are killing their business.
Mohammad Sirajuddin makes saris.
His father and grandfather did too.
He's afraid he'll be the last one.
The Varanasi saris are expensive.
Each sari can cost $400.
But the makers receive little money.
Varanasi saris are a tradition here.
Jaya Jaitly knows a lot about them.
She says these workers need the government's help.
Saris are part of life in India.
The Indian clothes business had problems in the past too.
In the 18th century, England sent cheap cloth to India.
In the 20th century, China did the same.
But for Jaitly, these saris and sari makers are special.
