As we know that saree has its roots in India, everyone assumes that silk was originally India’s textile. But silk was produced in China in the 4th Millennium BC. Silk came to India when the silk road opened and the traders started trading with it. All these years silk has travelled from high-class women, like queens and wives of traders to middle-class women wearing it for various events like parties, weddings, and other ceremonies. Only royalty used to wear silk sarees earlier as it elevated their richness and grandeur. But these sarees were quite expensive for common people to buy at that time. So, commoners used to wear only cotton sarees. But slowly silk sarees made their way in everyone’s hearts. From ancient queens to modern-day divas, everyone has shown their undying love for silk sarees from time to time. Silk has an alluring shine and desirable smoothness to it which makes silk sarees look a class apart from their other counterparts.
