Description
The personification of sheer elegance, is that of a lady draped in a traditional handwoven temple bordered silk saree. When you drape this beauty, a feeling of embracing a slice of Indian heritage is sure to envelop you. 
The saree has body in maroon and a 'Thazhampoo reku' (kewra flower or screw pine flower design) also known as a tall temple border of 8 inches in gold zari on one side and a small 'Pulliyaar moggu' or small mound/temple border of 4.5 inches in matt gold real zari on the top side. The grand pallu is intensely woven in matt gold zari. 
The pure soft mulberry silk drapes very fluidly, the pure 2 grams of zari glistens elegantly and the saree feels easy to wear and carry. 
Whilst the saree has its own blouse with a small gold zari temple border, we have combined the saree with a fusion of handloom cottons in maroon and orange Mangalgiri checks with threadwork border and light green ikat checks cotton blouse fabrics. The contrast of handloom weaves lifts the simple elegance of the saree. 
We also undertake custom making of the blouse at a nominal additional charge so that you have a ready to wear saree and it does not go away into your cupboard and is forgotten!
Shine and shimmer in this lovely classic timeless traditional kanchi pattu saree.  Saree is ideal for an intimate celebratory function. 
 
About Kanchivaram/Kanchipuram
Popularly known as the “City of Silk” and the “City of 1000 temples”, Kanchipuram, is located 70 km away from Chennai and is famous for its handwoven silk sarees with delicate zari work. It is considered to be one of the seven sacred cities in India, as it houses more than 1000 temples.
 
A tradition that is more than 150 years old, the story of Kanchipuram silk saree begins in Hindu Mythology. Legend has it that Kanchi weavers are descendants of Sage Marakanda, who was considered to be the master weaver for the Gods themselves. The early weavers of Kanchipuram were from two major communities of Andhra Pradesh, the Devangas and Saligars, who migrated to the town of Kanchipuram. They used their excellent skills to make sarees that bore the images of the sculptures and figurines found in temples, around the village.
The acclaim for GI tagged Kanchivaram sarees is purely for its special weaving technique that has mulberry silk of 18-20 denier 4 ply silk in the warp and 6 ply in the weft, twisted together with zari (a silk thread twisted with a thin silver wire and gilded with pure gold) to create sarees which are usually stronger and more lustrous that other silk sarees. 
Kanchi silk sarees are known for their artisanal contrast borders, intricate designs inspired by royalty, nature and religion that is most commonly found in these striking borders.
When you buy a pure silk, fine zari handwoven saree, you are actually adopting a piece of Indian cultural heritage into your world.
