Tussar, also known as Tussah silk, is a type of silk produced from the cocoons of wild silkworms, primarily the species Antheraea mylitta. Unlike cultivated silk, Tussar is harvested from silkworms that feed on various trees, giving it a unique texture and natural golden hue. It is commonly used in textiles, especially in traditional Indian garments. Tussar silk is valued for its durability and breathability, making it suitable for warm climates. It is often used in sarees, stoles, and other clothing items, particularly in regions like Bihar and West Bengal in India, where it has a rich cultural significance.
