Bhagalpuri Saree

Bhagalpuri saree is an silk sari made in Bhagalpur, India. These yarns are woven using multicolored silk strands produced from Tassar cocoons (Antheraea paphia silkworm cocoons). As a result, they are woven into unique and symbolic designs and motifs, giving Bhagalpuri silk sari a lively and brilliant texture and feel.

Bhagalpur has been associated with the silk industry for hundreds of years, and famous all over India for its Tussar Silk & Bhagalpur Saree.

The unique dyeing technique of these Bhagalpuri silk sarees sets them apart from the art silk sarees.

A notable product to have emerged from this production chain is the Bhagalpuri saree, which is heavier than the silk fabric itself because of the extra weft threads used to decorate its pallu. They also differ from the checked or striped silk fabric in the colours and motifs used.
