Seri Tourism Festival

Silk is a symbol of purity at its core and is similar to India's rich cultural legacy and history. Silk has been the traditional cloth for every occasion or ceremony in Indian customs and households for decades because of its luxurious texture and sheen with exclusivity. Tamil Nadu is famous for its exquisite and expensive Kanchipuram or "Kanjivaram" silk sari, which can be recognized by its broad contrast borders, is what has brought the city to the attention of the world. Every year the Department of Sericulture, Tamil Nadu celebrates the National Silk day by organising the Seri Tourism Festival at Yercaud. In the Government Silk Farm in Yercaud, located between the Rose Garden and the viewpoint known as "Lady's Seat," a seritourism centre has been established.
