Silk Heritage

India's Living Silk Traditions

Every region speaks its own language of thread, loom and motif. Discover the stories behind the sarees we love.

GI Tag Silks

Twelve Traditions, Each Registered to Its Home

A Geographical Indication (GI) tag certifies that a textile truly comes from its home region and is made by its traditional methods. Choose a silk to read its history, importance and how it is created.

Architecture of a Silk Saree

From Cocoon to Drape

How a silk saree is structured, how it is made, and how handloom and powerloom weaving differ.

Anatomy of a saree

Body (field) — the main length, plain or scattered with motifs.
Border (kinara) — woven bands along both long edges; in Kanjivaram it is joined to the body by hand (korvai).
Pallu (anchal) — the decorated end worn over the shoulder; usually the densest zari work.
Buta / butti — large and small motifs woven into body, border or pallu.
Selvedge — the firm woven edge that stops the cloth from fraying.
Zari — metallic thread (gilded silver) woven as supplementary weft for motifs.

The creation process

SericultureSilkworms feed on mulberry, oak or som leaves and spin cocoons (mulberry, tussar, muga, eri).

ReelingContinuous filaments are drawn from cocoons and combined into raw silk yarn.

DegummingSericin, the natural gum, is washed out to reveal soft, lustrous silk.

Twisting & zariYarn is twisted for strength; zari (gilded silver thread) is prepared for motifs.

DyeingSkeins are dyed in colourfast shades — or tie-dyed first for ikat.

WarpingThousands of lengthwise threads (warp) are measured and wound in order.

Loom dressingThe warp is sized, then drawn through heddles and reed so the loom can lift it in patterns.

Design chartingMotifs are drawn on graph paper (naksha) and set as hand-tied cords or jacquard cards.

WeavingWeft is passed through the shed and beaten in; zari motifs go in as extra weft.

FinishingCut from the loom, trimmed, lightly pressed, quality-checked and tagged.

Handloom vs Powerloom

	Handloom	Powerloom
Power source	Weaver's hands and feet drive the shed, shuttle and beat.	Electric motor drives the loom; the weaver supervises.
How motifs are made	Extra-weft motifs placed by hand — each buta woven separately (e.g. kadwa), with a pit or jacquard loom.	Jacquard (punch-card or electronic) repeats the motif mechanically, often as cutwork with floats trimmed.
Time for one saree	Typically days to several weeks; intricate pallus can take months.	Typically hours to a day or two.
Output	One-of-a-kind; tiny natural variations.	Uniform and repeatable.
Feel & finish	Richer hand-feel, slight irregularities that mark handwork.	Even, consistent finish; lighter on detail.
Price & access	Higher, reflecting skilled labour.	More accessible price point.
Verification	Look for the Handloom Mark; Silk Mark tags certify silk purity.	Silk Mark tags certify silk purity; not a handloom mark.

Both can be pure silk — the difference is how the cloth is woven, not what it is made of.
