These handmade silk muffler are created by the hereditary weavers of Benaras and is a great birthday gift for him. The tools used are very basic in nature- wooden blocks for marking designs on silk. A muffler (also called a scarf) is a piece of textile, often long and narrow, usually worn on or near the head, for warmth, fashion, cleanliness, or religious purposes. In cold climates, a thick knitted muffler (made up of wool) is tied around the neck to keep warm. This is usually accompanied by a warm hat and heavy coat. The craft of knitting garments such as mufflers is an important trade in some countries.

With cultural exposure from Europe, these scarves found their way to the western wardrobes too.
