Mysore/Mysuru: A six-day ‘Silk India-2022’ exhibition has been organised by Hastashilpi at Hotel Southern Star on Vinoba Road in city from May 11 to 16 between 10.30 am and 8.30 pm.

India is the number one producer of silk in the world for which there is a huge demand both in the national as well as international markets.

Different varieties of silk are reared based on climatic and geographic conditions of which only four, namely Tussar, Eri, Mulberry and Muga are the prominent ones.

Tussar and Muga are wild varieties of silk cultivated by silk worms fed on organically grown trees. Bihar, Assam and Chattisgarh are the three States where Tussar and Muga are produced.

“Various Silk Saree Weavers, Handloom Clusters and Silk Co-operative Societies will be showcasing their products in the exposition. The intention of organising this exhibition is to make accessible the products directly to customers, without the mediator to the weavers and artisans,” said Hastashilpi Organiser T. Abhinand.
