Kanjeevaram

Kanchipuram silk sarees, the legendary weaves hail from Kanchipuram, the temple city of Tamil Nadu. Characterized by expansive borders, vivid colors and quirky motifs, these silk sarees from Kanchi are a spin on the Kornad temple sarees of Tamil Nadu that were used as a drape for deities. Their traditional patterns depict local fauna like elephants, peacocks and fabled creatures such as the yali and annapakshi surrounding flora such as jasmines, mangoes, and most prominently, temple architecture. All in all, these silk sarees are an apotheosis of grace, beauty and above all, fashion.
