The traditional sarees of Tripura are unique in their designs. They stand unique in its size and the way it is draped among the Tripuri women compared to any other traditional Indian sarees. There are various designer sarees available. They are made of completely cotton yarns, and also sometimes, the zari is included in-between the cotton yarns. An ordinary saree costs around INR.800 - INR.1000, and a designer saree costs around INR.2000 – INR.5000 in the market. A saree with the design named “phoolbodi” that spreads throughout the saree is the costliest and also requires rigorous artistry to weave it. It takes nearly 17-20 days to weave this beautiful designer saree.
