Tussar silk, also known as "Kosa silk," is primarily produced in the state of Jharkhand in eastern India. The silk is extracted from the larvae of several species of silkworms, particularly the Antheraea mylitta, which thrive in the local flora.

The process involves traditional methods, with skilled artisans rearing the silkworms and carefully processing the silk. Tussar silk is celebrated for its natural gold sheen and textured feel, making it a prized material for luxurious textiles. The intricate craftsmanship and rich cultural history of Jharkhand contribute to the unique appeal of Tussar silk, a textile that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Indian heritage and tradition.

Block printing in India is a revered textile art form where intricate designs are hand-carved onto wooden blocks and stamped onto fabric. Its significance lies in preserving cultural heritage, showcasing artisanal skill passed through generations, embracing sustainable practices with natural dyes, offering design versatility, and serving as a vital economic lifeline for many communities.
