Bottle Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Zari Kattam Saree with Gandaberunda Zari Motif

A classical dance appreciation evening hosted by a cultural organisation calls for a saree steeped in heritage. Fine zari threads intersect across the silk body to form a luminous grid — the defining structure of the Zari Kattam weave — scattered with traditional Gandaberunda zari buttas that bring heritage symbolism to the weave. Each saree takes 42 days from dyeing to finishing and cannot be replicated by machine. Crafted thread by thread by artisan families in Kunnam village in Kanchipuram district. Read our story.

The body is woven in a rich bottle green, in pure mulberry silk, with an elegant gold zari checkered grid characteristic of the Zari Kattam weave, scattered throughout with traditional Gandaberunda zari buttas. This is a signature pure silk Kanchipuram weave, prized for its structured shimmer.

The contrast maroon border showcases magnificent elephant medallions, layered zari stripes, and intricate traditional motifs, echoing the grandeur of a South Indian temple frieze in gold. The richly woven ceremonial pallu makes this saree ideal for weddings, festivals, and heirloom collections.

This saree is well-suited to weddings, festivals, and heirloom collections. Pair with a maroon or gold silk blouse, temple jewellery, and jhumka earrings for a regal, ceremonial finish.
