The Butta EditSahana

Bottle Green and Deep Maroon Pure Kanchipuram Silk Saree with Peacock and Elephant Border

Pure Kanchipuram Silk in the green of a rain-fed grove, bordered by deep Arakku-maroon reminiscent of ripe pomegranate skin. Slender Oosi Vaanam lines travel down the bottle-green body, punctuated by delicate woven buttas. Along the maroon border, stately Yaanai and proud Mayil stand in alternating ornamental bands; the pallu opens into a luminous field of intricate zari-patterned weaving. A celebration of colour, line and temple-inspired motifs.

❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree. Approximately 16 active days on the loom, followed by careful finishing.
