Rajshahi's silk sari is the first thing that comes to mind. From this one can guess about its popularity. At one time the reputation of Rajshahi Silk was not only confined within the borders of the country, Rajshahi Silk was also highly valued in foreign countries. This silk sari has started to get back the lost glory of the middle.

The popularity of Rajshahi silk sarees made of fine mulberry silk is the highest among silk sarees. There is a local proverb about the description of muslin cloth that, "Muslin sari can be folded and put in a match box!" From this, subtlety, handicrafts and popularity can be understood.


History of Silk Saree in Bangladesh:

The spread of silk in Bengal began in the thirteenth century when it was called "Bangla Silk", "Ganga Silk". In 1952, the Pakistani government started silk production in Rajshahi. The first state-owned silk factory named "Rajshahi Silk Factory" was established in 1972. After independence, the factory was handed over to the Bangladesh government.

However, due to losses at different times, its production was reduced from 300 tons per annum to 50 tons. In 2002, the Bangladesh government announced the closure of the factory.

Role in development:

At one time, the traditional silk sari of Rajshahi city started losing its luster, but with the growing awareness and supportive role as well as increasing attention in this field, the sari of Rajshahi silk sari can be regained. Some steps such as-

1. Stop smuggling of gold,

2. Reduce tariffs on sari exports,
