Silk sarees are associated with the rich tradition of silk weaving in India. Considered to be an ethnic dress of India, the type of silk used, the process used for weaving, the design, and the style of wearing define the origin of the sari.

Most commonly worn in the eastern and southern India, silk sari is also synonymous to Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal. The Indian subcontinent is home to a variety of traditional sari styles, each having its unique design and flavor. The most important aspect of silk sarees is that they are hand-woven using a dyed silk yarn. The silk yarn consists of interleaved designs, which have been created with zari and this helps in bringing out the richness in the design. Zari is basically a type of silk thread work where a thin gold or silver wire is twisted to create a design. In some silk sarees the zari work is also gilded using pure Gold.

Zari work has made silk sarees ever so famous in India and across the world. Zari work can be seen in Banarasi silk, Kanjeevaram Silk, Jamdani, Kantha silk, Baluchari silk, Mooga, Mysore silk, Pochampally, Paithani among others. The primary silk weaving centers in India include Assam, Banaras, Tanjore, Surat, Mysore, Chander, Murshidabad, Kanchepuram, and Dharmavaram among others.

The most amazing aspect of a silk sari is that it has the ability to shine and hence is able to bring out the colors in any design created on silk. Silk sarees are available in a range of dazzling colors as well as design variety right from images of gods and goddesses to shapes and objects. A silk sari offers a true insight into rich cultural heritage of the Indian subcontinent.
