Etymology[edit | edit source]
Textile weaving started in Shantipur from the first decade of the fifteenth century. Centuries ago, textile weaving was spread around Shantipur. Saris were one of the textiles that were woven here. Later the saris made in Shantipur came to be known as Shantipuri Sari. The word "Shantipuri" is derived from the textile center Shantipur.[1]
