They excel in designing Mysore silk sarees, which are famous for their
heavy zari border and pallu. Every saree is given its embroidered
code number to protect its identity. They have hundreds of varieties
of colors and thousands of designs to meet the tastes of national

centres, Mysore, T.Narasipura, Kanakapura & Channapatna. They
market their products through inter-state government organisations,
