Lotus Pink Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Zari Kattam Saree with Gandaberunda Motifs and Gold Zari Border

A luminous lotus pink with an almost pearlescent radiance. Soft and delicate in gentle light, this handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram saree takes on a beautiful golden warmth as light travels across the silk. Its radiance comes not only from the silk itself, but from the fine zari threads woven into its measured Zari Kattam checks.

Zari Kattam is the traditional Kanchipuram technique in which fine metallic zari threads intersect across the silk body, forming a precise grid. These woven intersections catch the light from different directions, giving the fabric its characteristic luminosity.

Within the checks sit magnificent Gandaberunda motifs, the mythical double-headed bird associated with strength, protection and South Indian royal heritage. Woven into the body alongside the zari, the motifs bring a richness of detail without overwhelming the soft pink ground.

Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: A magnificent gold zari border frames the soft pink body. Along its ornamental bands, traditional Mayil Kann, or peacock-eye motifs, are woven through a combination of coloured silk threads and zari.

The vivid pink-purple silk-thread accents stand out against the warm metallic gold, creating beautifully defined rows of tiny geometric detailing. The contrast between coloured silk and reflective zari gives the border a richness that becomes especially apparent when viewed closely.

Pallu: The pallu is an expansive field of shimmering gold. A dense, finely woven grid of zari covers its surface, creating a continuous metallic lustre that appears almost molten when the silk moves.

Narrow ornamental bands with coloured silk-thread accents frame the gold, echoing the Mayil Kann detailing of the border. The generous zari work gives the saree its ceremonial grandeur, while the lotus-pink silk preserves its softness.

Styling: Pair with a matching lotus-pink silk blouse for a seamless look, or draw from the deep pink-purple Mayil Kann detailing for contrast. Antique gold jewellery, traditional temple jewellery or a single statement necklace complement the radiance of the zari. A beautiful choice for festive occasions, ceremonies, cultural gatherings and special occasions.
