Chattisgarh is in the central part of India. The region produces Kosa or Tussar silk, pure cotton and linen saris. Known as ‘Kosa’ Silk, the silk is obtained from several species of caterpillars, of the moth genus Antheraea. It is also known as ‘wild silk’, a name given because the silkworms breed on trees unlike mulberry such as Sal and Arjun found in the forests of Jharkhand. The raw silk has a deep golden colour and is of good texture. Chattisgarh Sarees are famous for the special use of the printing techniques of block batik and dabu. Organic dyes are used. Tribal prints of trees, human figures, flowers, animals are popular motifs on these Handloom Sarees. Ari embroidery, jaali or net embroidery in geometric or floral design is also a prevalent feature in Chattisgarh sarees.
