Silk is a natural protein fibre, which is woven into textiles. The shimmering appearance of silk is due to the triangular prism-like structure of the silk fibre which allows silk cloth to refract the in-coming light at different angles thus producing different shades.
Silk fabric was first developed in ancient China as early as 3,500 BC. Hence the name "chinambara" means, china-golden-color-cloth. Culturing silk is called Sericulture. Silk history in India is almost contemporaneous with China. India is the second largest producer of Silk after China. Majority is produced in Karnataka State, particularly in Mysore and the North Bangalore regions.
Today, silk is woven in Bhoodan Pochampally (Nalgonda Dist of AP), Dharmavaram (Anantapur Dist of AP), Kanchipuram (Tamilnadu), Mysore (Karnataka), Banaras (Uttarakhand), Murshidabad & Malda (West Bengal. Other states that are famous for silk are Assam and Kashmir.
The tradition of wearing silk sarees in marriages by the brides is followed in most parts of southern India. Silk is worn by people as a symbol of royalty while attending functions and during festivals.
Silk is elegant, soft luster and beautiful. Its good absorbency makes it comfortable in warm weather. Its low conductivity keeps warm air close to the skin during cold weather.
