The unique [[dyeing]] technique of these Bhagalpuri silk sarees sets them apart from the art silk sarees. Nowadays, instead of [[Natural dye|vegetable dyes]], [[acid dye]]s are used because they are suitable for silk and easily available in the market.<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Ilkal saree]]<br /> *[[Mysore silk]]<br /> *[[Navalgund Durries]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> {{Sari}}<br /> [[Category:Saris]]<br /> [[Category:Bhagalpur district]]<br /> [[Category:Culture of Bihar]]<br /> [[Category:Geographical indications in Bihar]]</div>
