Floral Butta in self-tone gold zari are scattered across the body at a measured interval, the motifs dissolving into the gold ground except where the silk catches direct light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe border is a Korvai construction in forest green deepening to black — body and border woven separately and structurally interlocked on the loom — carrying the Mayil Butta, the sacred peacock rendered in gold zari in a large, detailed repeat along the border length. In Kanchipuram's ceremonial tradition, the Mayil represents Murugan's vahana, and wearing this motif at a Kalyanam is considered deeply auspicious. The pallu extends the dark ground with a full zari field of peacock and geometric motifs, giving the saree the ceremonial depth that a grandmother's gift demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❖ Weave: Lightweight Pure Silk Kanchipuram — Korvai construction with Mayil Butta border\u003cbr\u003e❖ Body: Antique gold ochre with Floral Butta in self-tone gold zari\u003cbr\u003e❖ Border \u0026amp; Pallu: Forest green and black Korvai with gold zari Mayil Butta\u003cbr\u003e❖ Certification: Silk Mark certified\u003cbr\u003e❖ Care: Dry clean only\u003cbr\u003e❖ Origin: Handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idam Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52701763797268,"sku":"IDAM-AGO-LS-MYB-001","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7355\/4964\/files\/kanjivaram-pure-silk-saree-antique-gold-forest-green-mayil-butta-zari-detail.jpg?v=1782366904","url":"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/products\/antique-gold-and-forest-green-handwoven-pure-silk-kanjivaram-saree-with-mayil-butta-border","provider":"Idamliving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
