Overview:
Kosa Silk, derived from the cocoons of the wild silkworm Antheraea mylitta, is a prized fabric originating from the forests of Chhattisgarh, especially in Bastar, Bilaspur, and Raigarh regions. Known for its natural golden sheen, durability, and cultural richness, Kosa is not just a fabric but a tradition woven by tribal weavers for generations.
