These sarees are known as Bhagalpuri silk sarees. Amongst the natives of these districts, Bhagalpuri silk and Tussar are synonymous words that go hand in hand.It is of exceptional quality with very unique and distinctive adaptability and flexibility.

Their mellow golden hue with symbolic motifs woven, embroidered, or printed all over gives these sarees a mesmerizing look . Bihar is also known for the traditional Madhubani silk , cotton and cotton-silk blend Sarees. Madhubani painting is a very ancient form of folk art that originated in the Madhubani district of Bihar.
