Weave
Bhagalpuri Tussar
From Bihar
Bihar's "silk city" cloth — golden tussar silk woven in Bhagalpur, with a textured slub and a warm honey lustre.
Tussar silk is reeled from cocoons of wild moths native to Bihar's sal forests, giving it a warm gold-honey colour without dye. Bhagalpur has been the centre of tussar weaving for over two centuries.
