Chapter 1: Introduction
Mysore silk is well-known for its delicate texture, lovely patterns, and
vibrant colours. It is crucial in the textile and clothing industries. This study
discusses the qualities, benefits, and drawbacks of these materials, as well as
their potential in the clothing industry.
Mysore Silk's History:

The art of weaving silk dates back to the 18th century in Mysore, India,
during the reign of the Wadhyar dynasty The Wadhyars benefited from the
silk trade, and Mysore flourished during their reign as a manufacturing and
commerce centre. The Mysore weavers' skills and competence earned the
city a reputation for manufacturing beautiful fabrics sought by the royalty
and the aristocracy.
Production process and quality of Mysore silk:

The yarn produced by silkworms (Bombyx Mori) are responsible for the
making of Mysore silk. The extraordinary farming practices and the climate of
the region contribute significantly to the production of Mysore’s famous
Mulberry. The manufacturing process is a complex one that includes raising
silkworms, collecting the cocoons, and extracting the silk in a small process
called winding. These fabrics are then spun by artisan s, dyed bright colors
and woven into beautiful fabrics.
SILKWORM

and expanding markets. Collaboration with designers and fashion firms helps
boost Mysore silk's presence and appeal in the worldwide market.
Conclusion: Conservation and Development of Mysore Silk Art:

The Mysore Silk Industry is dedicated to the preservation and furtherance of
this art. With continuing artisan support, design and production
improvements, and an effective marketing strategy to reach a broader
demographic, the future of Mysore Silk is as beautiful as promised.

Known for its rich history, cultural heritage and incredible architecture, the
South Indian city of Mysore is a special destination for locals and tourists
alike.
Mysore Overview, Historical Highlights and Historical Background:
With a magnificent history dating back centuries, Mysore is known as the

cultural city of Karnataka. From the 14th century until India's independence
in 1947, it was the capital of the Mysore kingdom under the rule of the
Vadyar dynasty.
The city is famous for its exquisite palaces, architectural features and
religious symbols. Mysore Palace, Chamundeswari Temple and St. Philomena
Cathedral are some of the famous places that testi fy to the cultural and
historical significance of the city.

Mysore's Famous Silk Weaving Industry in Mysore:
Mysore's development over the years is very good.

The city gradually expanded to accommodate its growing population and
economy. The construction of schools, business centers and residential
areas has led to the growth of new areas. The development of the city has
spread all over the place, including communities like Jayalakshmipuram,
Vijayanagar, and Gokulam. Today, Mysore has become a vibrant city where
modern and modern mingle, culture and civilization mingle.
Mysore Geographic Overview and Highlights:

Kauli River flows near Mysore, beautifying the city and providing water for
irrigation and other purposes. The geography of the region is also suitable for
carpet making, and Mysore is famous for its fine Mysore silk fabrics.
11
Chapter 3: RAW MATERIAL AND PROCESS
Mysore produces silk and the raw materials and equipment used are mainly as
follows:
RAW MATERIAL:
Mulberry leaf: Silkworms mainly feed on the Mulberry leaf, which is planted
and harvested to feed silkworms during the breeding season.
Silkworm cocoons: Silkworm cocoons are the raw material of the production
line. These cocoons are carefully collected and processed to extract the silk.
MULBERY LEAVES COCOON
TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT:
Silkworm hatching trays: Silkworm hatching trays are used to offer a

regulated environment for silkworm growth and development. These bowls
are often constructed of bamboo or plastic, and they have holes to allow for
optimum ventilation.
Silkworm house: A silkworm house is a structure or facility dedicated to

the care of silkworms. It provides the required conditions for silkworm
health, such as temperature and humidity regulation.
Silkworm backing plate: This plate is employed for laying silkworm eggs.
These boards are often constructed of bamboo and include grooves or
recesses to securely hold the egg.
11
Brush and scissors: A soft brush is used to gently clean and remove debris
from the terrarium container. Mulberry leaves that are large enough to
feed silkworms are chopped with scissors.
Silk winding machine: The cocoons are treated in the silk winding machine
after they have been harvested. This machine aids in the extraction of silk
from cocoons, which is then spun into yarn.
Boiler or steamer: During degumming, use a boiler or steamer to extract
sericin from the cocoons. To loosen the silk fibbers, cocoons are cooked or
roasted.
Drying Hanger: After the silk threads are removed, they must be dried. Dry
racks or drying racks are used to hang silk to air dry. This will help remove
any remaining water from the silk.
Silk wrap pots: Silk wrap pots are vessels or pots used in silk wrap pots. It
straightens the cocoon and ensures smooth opening of the silk fibbers.
Production process:
Silkworm rearing:
The production process is divided into various parts, the first of which is the
purchasing of silkworm eggs. Eggs that have been carefully picked are
nurtured in a controlled atmosphere until the larva hatches. To provide a
consistent supply of food, the larvae feed on a vast number of growing
mulberry leaves. The larvaemoltt multiple times as they grow until they
reach the final stage.
Silkworm larvae stop feeding and begin to cocoon in the last stage. They
cause contact with air by secreting acid from their salivary glands.
Silkworms methodically weave eight-shaped cocoons around them. The
cocoons are gathered and separated after about two weeks based on their
quality.
To create the finished Mysore silk fabric, the collected yarn goes through
additional phases such as dyeing, weaving, and finishing. The entire process is
demanding and necessitates specialized skills and knowledge. Silk production in
Mysore follows traditional traditions that have been passed down from
generation to generation, resulting in exceptional crafts and superior fabrics.
11
Cocoon acquisition: Cocoon procurement is a crucial phase in Mysore silk

manufacture. After silkworms have spun their cocoons, they are collected and
graded based on their quality. Each cocoon is examined by skilled professionals
to assess its quality and eligibility for silk production.
Select suitable cocoons for winding strands with sturdy and regular silk threads
and continuous unwinding. Selected silks are stored in a controlled
environment to protect them and facilitate thread removal.
Cocoon processing:
The boll procedure is critical in Mysore silk manufacturing for yarn and the
preparation of cocoons extracted for yarn. Skilled workers choose cocoons
based on their quality, strength, texture, and colour. The chosen cocoons
are then preserved in a suitable location to retain and maintain their
quality.
The cocoons are next degummed, which involves immersing them in boiling
water or exposing them to steam to dissolve the natural gum or string that
bonds the threads. This procedure gets the cocoon ready to open.
Skilled workers delicately unravel the threads in the cocoons to avoid
damaging them. Several wire ends can be linked together during the
unwinding process to form a wire of the required thickness.
The thawed silk thread is also embroidered into the thread. This may
include turning or twisting to improve strength, smoothness and
homogeneity.
Drying:
After the yarn is rolled, its spread well on a well- ventilated dry rack or tray.
Silk threads are left to dry out of direct sunlight.
11
During the drying process, environmental control is critical. To help the drying
process, air conditioning is essential, and humidity must be checked and
maintained so that the yarns do not become excessively dry or wet.
Temperature control is also critical, as it can impact the quality and texture of the
yarn. The drying time is affected by a variety of elements, including humidity,
yarn thickness, and environmental conditions. It typically takes several hours
every day for the threads to completely dry. Qualified staff monitor the drying
process to maintain cleanliness and prevent yarn damage.
During drying, quality control is maintained. Qualified employees inspect the

threads for flaws or irregularities and remove any broken or uneven threads. This
ensures that only high-quality thread is used.
Proper drying is important because it removes moisture from the yarn and
prepares the yarn for further stages such as dyeing and weaving. It helps
maintain the strength, texture and smoothness of the yarn that helps make
quality Mysore silk fabrics.
Cocoon selection:
The length and thickness of the yarn that can be removed are also
determined by the size and shape of the cocoon. Cocoons that are too small
or unevenly formed might produce short or irregular threads, which can
degrade the fabric's quality. Similarly, the colour of the cocoon is thought to
create a consistent and optimum shade of the finished silk and cloth.
Another crucial component of cocoon selection is inspecting the cocoons for
flaws or damage. Damaged cocoons, such as holes or abnormalities, are
usually destroyed since they might weaken or make the threads uneven.
11
Chapter 4: Philosophy
For many reasons, Mysore silk is regarded unique and exceptional, making it the
finest choice for silk aficionados. Some of the reasons that contribute to Mysore
Silk's fame and uniqueness are as follows:
1. Long and Rich History: Mysore Silk has a long and rich history that dates back
centuries. Mysore, in the Indian state of Karnataka, is famous for its royal silk
manufacture. Silk weaving is an art form that has been passed down from
generation to generation, resulting in the highest craftsmanship and ancient

23
Chapter 7: Analysis
Privatisation is the transfer of ownership and control of a public enterprise to a

private entity. The private sector, when applied to the Mysore silk business, can
provide good earnings, investment, and innovation.
Gentrification refers to the process of urban regeneration. Gentrification may

raise demand for premium commodities such as Mysore silk. This might open
up a new market for Mysore silk, attracting high-end customers. On the
negative side, it may result in the displacement of traditional artists as well as
the loss of cultural authenticity.
Liberalisation is the process of reducing government regulation and commercial

barriers.
It may open the door for Mysore silk to access the global market and boost its
consumer base.
Globalization: Globalization includes the economic, cultural and social

aspects of the world; globalization has affected the Mysore silk industry with
the emergence of synthetic fabrics and increasing competition. The
international market offers Mysore silk an opportunity to gain international
recognition, collaborate with designers and meet the growing demand for
quality and sustainable materials.
24
Chapter 8: Research Findings and Research Gap
RESEARCH FINDING:
Mysore silk has a rich culture and is well-known in the textile business for its
quality, durability, and dazzling beauty.
Silkworm breeding, cocoon harvesting, processing, and selection are all

processes in the manufacturing of Mysore silk, emphasizing the importance
of workmanship and attention to detail. Mysore silk fabric is noted for being
eco-friendly and leather-safe, as well as having a natural colour that is
generated from vegetable dyes.
Mysore silk is culturally significant, and it is frequently connected with

festivals, marriages, and other special occasions.
RESEARCH GAP:
As the demand for sustainable and eco-friendly fabrics grows, more research
on the environmental impact of the Mysore production line and comparison
to synthetic materials is required.
The market price of Delhi Mysore silk products is determined by factors such as
quality, style, and type. It is stated that it changes depending on the individual,
however there is no exact information or model. More research can be
conducted to investigate the price range and commercial quality of Mysore
silk in various places.
The influence of shifting consumer preferences and rising competition on the

Mysore silk business is briefly acknowledged but not thoroughly investigated.
Further research could look into the industry's difficulties and proposed ways
for controlling its competitiveness.
25
Chapter 9: Conclusion
This dissertation opportunity lead me to the following conclusions:

Because the research on this topic was difficult due to several constraints
and circumstances, secondary data research assisted me in overcoming the
difficulties.
Market visits were used to acquire primary data.
The secondary data section followed, which was largely provided by markets
and their websites for product promotion, as well as other reputable sources
that are connected.
Secondary data also includes images that illustrate the data as well as journal
and newspaper pieces. During the data collection procedure, the attentive
observation of professors and faculty helped to improve faults that were made.
Throughout the procedure, I felt ecstasy for the art form.
