Murshidabad silk saree

While Bengal is famous for its cotton sarees, silk sarees are equally popular in the region. It was during the reign of British East India Company that production of silk in West Bengal grew manifold because of the demand of the material in England. Today, Murshidabad silk sarees are one of the most popular sarees of Bengal. Since the manufacturing of Murshidabad silk is completely natural, without any chemicals, it is often referred to as pure silk. These lightweight sarees come in myriad colours and designs, both woven and printed. You are bound to look stunning draped in a beautiful Murshidabad silk saree, which can be purchased from shops across the city, including Adi Mohini Mohan Kanjilal—College Street, Traders Assembly—Gariahat and various shops in New Market.
