Silk is a major export from Karnataka, starting right from the reign of Tipu Sultan, who was highly fascinated by sericulture, thereby he bought silk worms to set up the silk industry centred around Mysore, the impact of which was so big, that even now any silk item manufactured in and around Mysore is known as a ‘Mysore Silk’ item and is famous all around the country, for more than 70% of India’s mulberry silk is produced by the Mysore district. The silk is primarily used to manufacture silk sarees and even silk shawls which are famous for its quality and decoration.
2. Mysore Paintings
Paper, wood, cloth or a wall is used as a background for these kind of paintings, once the surface is ready, a rough sketch of the drawing is prepared using a crayon derived from the tamarind tree, which is later on traced onto the surface. First, the farthest elects of nature are traced like sky, water, and hills, gradually animals and humans are approached with a greater detail.
