Veldhari is the name for this shot-colour weave technique, where two different colour silks are woven in the warp and weft to create a fabric that shifts between copper and deep plum as it catches the light. A fine gold Zari Kattam grid runs across this shot-colour body, and within the grid, Gandaberunda Butta — the mythical twin-headed eagle, the royal emblem of South India — are woven in silver and gold zari at even intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body of this Kanjipuram saree shimmers between copper, rust, and deep mauve as it moves — a shot colour phenomenon that only pure mulberry silk achieves. The Zari Kattam grid adds gold structure to this shifting ground, and the Gandaberunda Butta, worked in silver and antique gold zari, are placed at precise intervals to give the body a sense of formal grandeur. The Gandaberunda is a rare motif choice, reserved for those who understand the full depth of the Kanchipuram design vocabulary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe deep green border carries multiple stacked bands of heavy antique gold zari — wide Varisaipet structure with a dense gold field that transitions into a full antique gold pallu of exceptional zari weight. For a family milestone occasion — a sixtieth, an eightieth, a vidyarambham — this Kanjipuram in copper-plum and deep green gold is a saree that arrives with meaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❖ Handwoven pure mulberry silk\u003cbr\u003e❖ Veldhari weave — shot copper and plum, Zari Kattam grid, Gandaberunda Butta in silver zari\u003cbr\u003e❖ Shot colour copper-to-plum body with deep green heavy antique gold zari border\u003cbr\u003e❖ Silk Mark certified\u003cbr\u003e❖ Woven by artisan weaver families we work with directly\u003cbr\u003e❖ Ships from New Jersey across the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Veldhari and how does it differ from a plain shot colour saree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVeldhari refers to a shot-colour weave technique in Kanchipuram silk where warp and weft are woven in two different colours, producing a shifting copper-to-plum effect, here combined with a Zari Kattam gold grid layered on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Gandaberunda motif?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Gandaberunda is the mythical twin-headed eagle, a royal emblem of South India, woven here in silver and antique gold zari as a rare and formally significant motif choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat occasions suit this saree?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe regal motif and heavy gold zari border make it especially well suited to milestone family celebrations — sixtieth and eightieth birthdays, vidyarambham ceremonies, and other significant life events.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/collections\/gandaberunda-motif-kanchipuram-silk-sarees\" style=\"color:#C4622D;\"\u003eGandaberunda Motif collection\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/collections\/zari-kattam-kanchipuram-silk-sarees\" style=\"color:#C4622D;\"\u003eall Zari Kattam Kanchipuram sarees\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idam Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52722958729492,"sku":"IDAM-COPPER-VH-GB-001","price":367.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7355\/4964\/files\/Kanchipuram-Veldhari-Red-Orange-Shot-Maanga-Butta-Maroon-Pallu-02.jpg?v=1782777941","url":"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/products\/copper-and-deep-purple-handwoven-pure-silk-kanjipuram-saree-with-veldhari-zari-kattam-and-gandaberunda-butta","provider":"Idamliving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
