Bhagalpuri Silk

Bhagalpuri silk or Tussar silk is a traditional style of silk saris. This material is used for making saris named Bhagalpur Sari. Bhagalpur is also known as the SILK CITY of India. Bhagalpuri silk is made from cocoons of Antheraea paphia silkworms. This species, also known as Vanya Silkworm is native to INDIA. These silkworms live in the wild forests, in trees belonging to Terminalia species. Pantnagar is a place where Bhagalpuri silk is mainly processed. Besides sari, shawls, Kurtis and other garments are also made from Bhagalpuri silk. More than a century old, the tussar silk weaving industry in Bhagalpur has about 30,000 handloom weavers working on some 25,000 handlooms. The total value of annual trade is around Rs 100 crores, nearly half of which comes from exports.
