Baluchari Sari (Bengali: বালুচরী শাড়ি) is a type of sari, a garment worn by women in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura and Assam and the country of Bangladesh. This particular type of sari originated in West Bengal and is known for depictions of mythological scenes on the anchal of the sari. It used to be produced in Murshidabad but presently Bishnupur and its surrounding areas of West Bengal are the only place where authentic Baluchari saris are produced. It takes approximately one week to produce one such sari.[1][2] In 2011, the Baluchari Sari was granted the status of Geographical Indication for West Bengal in India.[3]
