FAQs

What is Zari Kattam in a Kanchipuram silk saree?

Zari Kattam refers to a woven check pattern created when fine zari threads intersect across the silk body, forming a subtle luminous grid structure within the weave — distinct from Kanchi Kattam where the checks are formed by silk threads alone.

How is Zari Kattam different from Kanchi Kattam?

In Kanchi Kattam the checks are created using silk threads, giving the pattern a matte, textural appearance. In Zari Kattam the grid is formed using metallic zari threads, adding a soft shimmer across the entire body of the saree.

Are Idam Living Zari Kattam sarees Silk Mark certified?

Yes. Every saree in this collection is woven using 100% pure mulberry silk and is Silk Mark certified by the Silk Mark Organization of India, confirming silk authenticity.

Are Zari Kattam Kanchipuram silk sarees suitable for Indian weddings in the USA?

Yes — Zari Kattam Kanchipuram silk sarees are a popular choice for Indian weddings in the USA, particularly within South Indian Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada communities. The luminous gold grid body paired with rich zari borders creates an elegant, ceremonial look suited to weddings, receptions, and festive gatherings.

How do I care for a Zari Kattam Kanchipuram silk saree?

Dry clean only. Store folded in a muslin cloth away from direct sunlight. Air the saree periodically and avoid contact with perfume or moisture to preserve both the silk and the zari grid.
