The Slender Border EditOviya

Violet Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree with Yaanai Pettu and Zari Lattice

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in deep violet, with a slender elephant border framing a generous field of silk. A field of violet, deep as twilight, is scattered with tiny glints of zari. At the hem, rows of temple elephants march beneath an antique-gold glow; the pallu opens into a jewelled lattice, intricate as a palace screen.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree.
