This Kanjeevaram's pure mulberry silk body is woven in a classic Paalum Pazhamum composition, with large checks of turmeric yellow, black and earthy olive-bronze, and gold Kamalam lotus and peacock buttas appearing within selected squares. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 19 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. Read our story.

Border: Just a slender line of gold zari runs along the edge, framed by the dark selvedge. This reserved border lets the checks hold the eye and gives the saree a surprisingly graphic presence.

Pallu: The black pallu is generously filled with gold zari in a diamond lattice, bordered by dense traditional peacock-patterned ornament. Against the yellow silk body, this deep gold finish lends the drape a rich ceremonial close.

Styling: Wear it with a fitted plain black blouse, or choose muted bronze silk to bring out the softer squares. Small gold earrings, a sleek plait and perhaps fresh jasmine are enough. This balance of warm yellow and dark checks is especially beautiful for a morning pooja or Deepavali family celebration.
