The Coral Semi Tussar Silk Saree embodies centuries of Indian textile heritage, blending wild silk’s rustic charm with contemporary elegance. Here’s an in-depth exploration:

Historical Roots

Born from India’s ancient silk-weaving traditions, Tussar silk (or *Kosa* silk) traces its origins to medieval tribal communities in Jharkhand, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh. Unlike mulberry silk, Tussar is produced by *Antheraea mylitta* silkworms that feed on forest trees like Sal and Arjun, resulting in its signature coarse yet breathable texture. Semi Tussar silk emerged as a modern innovation, merging Tussar’s organic appeal with refined weaving techniques for lighter, more versatile drapes.
