    Thanks for this helpful article… It nicely covers up all the leading silk saree shops in Kolkata. One thing I would like to add here is that four shops out of the five you have mentioned above are located in Gariahat in South Kolkata. You might consider doing one more list that focusses on the best saree shops located in North Kolkata.
