A Tussar saree is a traditional Indian saree made from Tussar silk, which is a type of wild silk known for its rich texture and natural golden hue. This fabric is derived from silkworms that are not cultivated in controlled environments, giving the silk a distinctive, slightly coarse feel. Tussar silk is often considered more eco-friendly because it uses less processing than cultivated silk.
