Bhagalpur, on the southern bank of the Ganga in eastern Bihar, is India's best-known centre for tussar (tasar) silk weaving and is often called the 'Silk City'.
Eri (endi) silk comes from the Samia ricini (Philosamia ricini) silkworm, which feeds mainly on castor leaves and is reared indoors in Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland and other parts of north-east India.
