KANJEEVARAM SILK SAREES – HERITAGE WOVEN IN TRADITION
The weaving of kanjeevaram silk sarees traces back more than 400 years to the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. According to legend, the first weavers were descendants of Sage Markanda, who was believed to be the master weaver for the Gods. Since then, the craft has been nurtured through generations, making Kanjeevaram one of the most prestigious weaves in India.
A pure kanjivaram silk saree is known for its lustrous texture, strong weave, and intricate zari patterns. Its richness lies not only in its luxurious drape but also in the cultural stories woven into each motif. Adorned with traditional designs and radiant colors, traditional Kanchipuram silks remain timeless treasures that continue to enchant women across generations.
THE BEAUTY OF KANCHEEPURAM SILK WEAVE
The specialty of kancheepuram silk sarees lies in their unique weaving technique. Using three shuttles, two weavers work simultaneously on the saree, ensuring strength and durability. The border, pallu, and body are often woven separately and then interlocked with the korvai technique, making the saree nearly untearable.
Each design carries cultural symbolism. Popular motifs like peacocks, chakrams, paisleys, Annapakshi, Yali, and temple gopurams reflect the heritage of South India. The contrasting borders and heavily woven zari pallus give traditional kanjivarams their signature grandeur, distinguishing them from other silks like Banarasi or Mysore sarees.
