Royal Purple Handwoven Pure Silk KanchiPattu Saree with Mullai Moggu Zari Butta and Contrast Selvedge

For the Navaratri golu evenings and temple visits that fill festival season for the South Asian diaspora across the USA, a saree that catches the mandapam lights without overwhelming them is exactly what's needed. This saree carries small mullai moggu (jasmine bud) buttas woven in fine zari across a plain body — a classic small-butta Kanchipuram treatment prized for quiet, repeatable elegance. Each saree takes 10 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine — see the craftsmanship in The Making of a Kanjivaram Saree. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is a rich royal purple pure mulberry silk. Browse our full Kanchipuram Pure Silk collection.

The pallu is finished with a contrast selvedge in rust orange and deep red stripes, a subtle detail that frames the purple body and signals the handwoven finish. Explore more Butta Kanchipuram silks.

Pair with a rust orange or gold blouse for festive gatherings, temple visits, or family celebrations — see our guide on picking authentic, elegant Kanjeevaram pieces.
