Surat Zari is a decorative material made from silk, cotton, and metals like gold, silver, or copper, commonly used in textiles and handicrafts in India. Originating in Surat, Gujarat, it is traditionally woven or embroidered onto fabrics. The craft has evolved, with lower-cost metals like copper now used for what is known as real metallic zari, and plastic substitutes for gold referred to as imitated zari. Surat also produces other embroidery materials such as Salma (Kora), Chalak, Sadi (Dabka), and Kangri.
