Woven in the Butta tradition, the body is punctuated by petite circular gold zari motifs, each set against a deep cherry red-purple silk ground. Their measured spacing allows the colour to remain uninterrupted between the motifs, creating a visual balance with the more elaborate ornamental work along the border. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 14 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: The broad gold zari border is arranged in multiple ornamental registers, with repeating stylised floral forms, rounded decorative motifs and delicate vine-like detailing. Fine horizontal zari lines separate the individual bands, while a small ornamental edging traces the upper boundary. The contrast between the open butta body and the densely patterned border gives the saree its distinctive character.

Pallu: A richly woven gold zari pallu features closely repeated diamond-shaped geometric latticework. Its dense, orderly pattern introduces a different texture from the floral border, bringing together three distinct visual elements within the same silk composition.

Styling: An antique-gold blouse would draw out the warmth of the border, while a plain Vadamalli blouse would create a quieter, colour-led composition. Pair with gold jhumkas and a low bun, keeping the pallu arranged to reveal its geometric zari work. The saree lends itself beautifully to festive occasions, ceremonies and evening cultural gatherings.
