Banka Silk – The Pride of Bihar’s Looms
Handwoven Elegance from the Heart of Banka District
Description:
Banka Silk, a lesser-known yet richly crafted textile from the Banka district of Bihar, is a symbol of traditional artistry and rural craftsmanship. Handwoven using Tussar silk, cotton, or blended threads, Banka Silk products are celebrated for their elegant drape, subtle sheen, and comfortable texture—perfect for both traditional and contemporary fashion.
Rooted in heritage, the silk weaving industry of Banka supports hundreds of rural artisans, most of whom are part of traditional weaver families. The fabric is known for its fine quality, durability, and eco-friendly production, often dyed with natural or vegetable-based colors. Whether you’re adorning a saree, kurta, dupatta, or stole, Banka Silk adds a touch of timeless sophistication.
With growing recognition and pending GI tag efforts, Banka Silk is emerging as a sustainable and cultural textile alternative from Bihar, reviving handloom traditions while empowering local weavers.
