Canary Yellow Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Purple Border Mayil Chakram Butta

An Upanayanam sacred thread ceremony for a son calls for a saree that feels bright and auspicious, and this canary yellow silk scattered with purple silk-thread Mayil Chakram butta motifs was made for exactly that occasion. Each saree takes 8 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The canary yellow body is woven in pure mulberry silk, scattered with purple Mayil Chakram (peacock wheel) motifs worked in silk thread rather than zari, giving a striking colour contrast without any zari sheen on the body. Explore our full pure silk Kanchipuram collection for coordinating pieces.

The border shifts into a rich purple band with dense gold zari florals and geometric lines, and the pallu carries the same purple and gold density for a vivid, auspicious finish.

This saree pairs beautifully with antique gold or temple jewellery, and suits sacred thread ceremonies, temple functions, or any occasion calling for bright, auspicious colour.
