Family house · Bengaluru
A long-established family silk shop in Chickpet, dating from the mid-20th century, and one of the market's recognisable names. It sells Kanjivarams, Bangalore and Mysore silks and wedding sarees across a broad price range. Like most Chickpet houses it serves both retail families and smaller traders, so it is busiest at weekends and in wedding season.

Kanchipuram, the temple town about 75 km south-west of Chennai, is the best-known silk weaving centre in Tamil Nadu, and its sarees are widely regarded as the classic south Indian bridal silk.
Mysore silk is the pure silk saree woven by the Karnataka Silk Industries Corporation (KSIC) at its factory in Mysuru, which was founded in 1912 by the Maharaja Krishnaraja Wadiyar IV after he imported looms from Switzerland.
The Banarasi saree is woven in and around Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, one of the oldest brocade centres in India.
