Heritage and Origin

Ghicha (or Gheecha) silk yarns are primarily produced in Bihar, Jharkhand and Chattisgarh. The silk is a by-product obtained during the production of traditional Tussar or Eri silk. The production of Ghicha silk involves a manual and laborious process - the threads from the cocoons need to be pulled out delicately by hand (hence the name Ghicha or Gheecha) and reeled manually. Due to this process, the silk yarns are shorter in length. Although manual reeling gives Ghicha silk a coarse characteristic, the finish is smooth and lustrous. Madhubani paintings, also known as Mithila paintings, trace their origin to the Mithila region in Bihar and Nepal. The art, which goes back 2,500 years to the time of the Ramayana, was displayed by women on the floor and walls of their houses during celebrations and festivals. The magic of these paintings has been transferred to fabric and other material using hand-held wooden blocks, thereby reviving interest in a lost art form and priceless heritage.
