How is Chanderi silk made?

India is traditionally the birthplace of the famous Chanderi sarees, known for the stylistic bootis and extraordinary yarns on fine silk and cotton weaves. The Chanderi silk saree is familiar for its mostly light to moderate hues in pleasing patterns and its most attractive feature – large booties. With simple to moderately ornate designs or patterns, small but attractive colorful borders and exquisite pallus with some ornaments, Chanderi silks are popular for their extremely fine texture and pure quality.
