Subodh Kumar, founder of Anant Handloom in Champanagar, Bhagalpur, is a master weaver with 30+ years of experience. Operating wooden pit looms, he specializes in hand-spinning Ghicha yarn, weaving Tussar silk, and crafting exquisite Madhubani-handprint sarees and fabrics.
Bhagalpuri handloom silk weaving is an indigenous craft known for producing textured, breathable, and durable textiles. It blends traditional pit loom weaving techniques with surface ornamentation like hand-painted Madhubani motifs, block printing, and natural yarn dyeing.
Champanagar is a historical handloom weaving hub in Bhagalpur, Bihar—famously known as the "Silk City" of India. Housing over 500 active pit and frame looms, Champanagar specializes in traditional silk weaving, raw yarn processing, and artisan-led textile production.
The product range includes Bhagalpuri Tussar and Ghicha silk sarees, Madhubani hand-printed sarees, suit sets, dupattas, stoles, running dress materials, lightweight cotton-silk fabrics, and traditional Bhagalpuri chadars.
Dating back centuries to the Vedic and Mauryan eras, Bhagalpur's silk weaving flourished under royal and Mughal patronage. Known as "Peace Silk" for its sustainable Vanya silkworm harvesting, this heritage craft has evolved into an internationally recognized handloom tradition.
