Our Saree Saga
Founded over 40 years ago, Bharat Vastralaya primarily had its roots in the cut piece trading business. In 1984,Bharat Vastralaya and Karishma Sarees entered the wholesale sector manufacturing 100% pure cotton sarees and suits. Over the years, as a leading manufacturer, we have become a national household brand that today stands synonymous with cotton sarees and suits – Karishma Sarees & Suits. Fully committed to our tagline, “Cotton Kaho Ya Karishma”, we pride ourselves on our vision of providing high quality 100 percent pure cotton sarees and salwar suits.

Our mission is to strive for continuous creative development of traditional and fancy cotton sarees and suits ensuring that we are always ready to offer a new, exclusive and a vast range with every season.
Our brand USP is highest quality 100% pure cotton fabric with innovative designs and fabrics at a value for money price range. The combination of a high quality product at a reasonable price is not provided by any other player in the mass cotton wear market.

We have 75+ dealers and through them a network of 15000+ retailers. Boutique owners and home-based women entrepreneurs also buy and sell our products, mainly in South India.
