In India, the secret of creating silk, which is prized all over the world, was revealed

According to locals, the secret of this ancient silk craft lies in the meticulous care of the caterpillars. Their cocoons are dipped in hot water to soften the threads, and women spend hours unwinding the finest fibers by hand. Thousands of these threads are used to make a single sari (traditional garment), and the entire process is entirely manual.
