BHAGALPUR SILK

Bhagalpur is an ancient city and the history of Bhagalpur goes back to the days of vedic period. References to Bhagalpur can be found in Indian epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata where Bhagalpur was described as the kingdom of Anga.
The origin of silk in india goes back to the dim recesses of antiquity. Bhagalpur known as Champa in the days of yore,produced abundantly Tussar mulberry out of the 4 categories of silk. The industry enjoyed a royal patronage and silk, the best in the world, was exported to the countries bordering the Mediterranean sea under the protection of royal troops. From the period of antiquity to the modern period,the silk industry survived in its indigenous form. In 1810-11,Buchanan Hamilton presented a fine account about the Tussar of Bhagalpur.
More than 35000 handloom weavers, with 25000 looms live in Bhagalpur. Total trade of Bhagalpur is approximately more than 100 crores per annum ,50% comprising domestic and 50% from the export market.Around 100000 people are engaged in the work of separating silk threads from cocoons,and spinning the the yarn to weave into cloth.
Silk fabrics made in Bhagalpur are being exported to countries like West Asia, Europe, U.S. and Japan. Home furnishings are becoming increasingly famous in the international market.Outfits designed with this exclusive silk fabric have gained immense popularity in ramp show and fashion weeks.

UNIQUENESS:

1. SUN DRYING METHOD: The cocoons are dried under moderate sunlight.
2. SPECIAL BOILING PROCESS: The softness of yarn by this method and shining of fabrics increase with every wash.
3. THIGH REELING: This process increases the strengths of fabrics by three to four times and keeps the yarn more lustrous.
4. KUNDI FINISH: This process helps to improve the feel,luster and look of the fabrics.
5. TUSSAR WASTE SPINNING: The waste silk is thoroughly cleaned and spun into yarns.
