Tussar
Silk Sarees, also known as ‘Kosa’ Silk Sarees, are made from silk obtained from
several species of caterpillars, of the moth genus Antheraea. Known as ‘wild
silk’, a name given because the silkworms breed on trees like Sal and Arjun
found in the forests of Jharkhand. The raw silk has a deep golden colour and is
of good texture. Tussar Silk staples are shorter and less expensive in
comparison to that of cultivated silk because of the resulting quality of the
produce from these silkworms in comparison to that from cultivated types.
Tussar Silk is mainly found in India, in the states of Jharkhand, Chattisgarh,
and Bhagalpur in Bihar, which is also famous as a commercial centre for the
production of Tussar Silk sarees. Eastern parts of India like Orissa and West
Bengal and a small portion of Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh also contribute to
Tussar Silk production in India. Tribals in Jharkhand, for whom sericulture
accounts as a major source of livelihood, and weavers of Bhagalpur, are skilled
weavers of hand-woven Tussar Silk Sarees. Hand spun and coloured with vegetable
dyes, the Tussar sarees they produce are eco-friendly.
The enchantment of Tussar silk
sarees
The woven Tussar Silk Saree has a coarse
texture, is light on the body, airy and has a comfortable feel about it.
Hand-woven Tussar Silk Saris are well known for their texture, zari borders and
motifs and the hand crafted designs that enrich them. The use of leftover silk
from woven fabrics, are also used to create designs on the main fabric and is a
by-product of the need for variation in the weaves.
