•Karnataka government temporarily suspended online sales of Mysuru Silk Sarees due to demand far exceeding available supply.
•The decision, announced by Sericulture Minister K Venkatesh, prioritizes customers visiting physical KSIC showrooms.
•Online sales, originally for accessibility outside Karnataka, will resume once production levels improve and supply stabilizes.
•Mysuru Silk Sarees, known for their craftsmanship and GI tag, are produced by KSIC since 1912, with daily output of 300-400 sarees.
