Zari is a type of thread made of fine gold or silver wire used in traditional Indian garments. This thread is woven into fabrics, primarily made of silk to create intricate patterns. It is believed this tradition started during the Mughal era.

Zari is the main material in most silk sarees and ghararas. It is also used in other garments made of silk, like skirts, tops and vettis.

The main centres are Surat in Gujrat, Bareilly, Agra and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, and Jaipur and Barmer in Rajasthan.
