Tussar silk has a natural golden sheen and a slightly rough, rich texture. It is light, breathable and perfect for festivals and office functions.
Pure and Semi Tussar Silk Sarees
Pure tussar silk takes dyes and hand painting beautifully, so you will find both natural beige-gold tones and bright painted designs. Semi tussar silk sarees blend tussar with other fibres for a lighter drape and a lower price. Tasar weaving is famous in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh.
Bhagalpuri and Printed Tussar Sarees
Bhagalpuri tussar sarees come from Bhagalpur in Bihar, known as the silk city. Printed tussar sarees with block or hand-painted designs are great for office and festivals. For other silk choices, see silk sarees and handloom sarees.
