Process of Bomkai Saree

Originally, Bomkai sari was made using the Jaara technique, which has a low cotton density. Warp and weft techniques are used by craftsmen to make bomkai sari. In order to catch up with modernization, design craftsmen had to make some changes to the design, but that didn't change the fact that people love Bonkaisari. The latest development by Bomkai was the introduction of zari work into the weaving workshop.

Prior to the 1950s, the region's main product mix was cotton sari and dhoti. Bomkai sari is mainly worn by Kathak dancers around the world. Aishwarya Rai also wore a Bomkai Saree in her wedding."
