A brief history of silk sarees

In India, silk cloth was originally used to dress members of the royal family and to make brocade by combining metal and silk fibres. In ancient times, the primary hubs of silk weaving in the country were Gujarat, South India, Delhi, Varanasi, and Malwa. As silk weaving became popular throughout the country, weavers in different locations merged their native characteristics, resulting in each region with its own type of silk saree. Kanjivaram sarees, Banarasi sarees, Paithani sarees, Assam silk sarees, Bomkai sarees, Tussar silk sarees, and Patola silk sarees are some of the most well-known silk sarees in India.
