Baluchuri silk sarees: The name came into existence because the weaving of these sarees started in a small village called Baluchar in Murshidabad district of west Bengal. The word Baluchari itself means sandy river bank – referring that the village was on the banks of a river: in this case the Bhagirathi. Balucharis are among the most exquisite silk sarees from Bengal, defined by gorgeous borders and pallav, that depict tales and scenes from ancient epics and religious texts. The opulence of baluchuri sarees make them apt for wearing at festivals, weddings and grand functions.
