Tussar

Tussar silk, also known as Kosa silk, is a type of wild silk known for its rich texture and natural golden hue. It is primarily produced in India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. Tussar silk sarees are highly valued for their natural elegance and traditional appeal. Tussar silk is derived from the cocoons of the Antheraea mylitta silkworms, which feed on the leaves of the Asan and Arjun trees. Unlike mulberry silk, which is cultivated, Tussar silk is wild and has a coarser texture.
