This is the Kanchi Pattu that a grandmother might have worn to a child's first ceremony, that a daughter inherits and wears to her own. Woven by our family's weavers in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, where the dense butta jaal represents some of the most time-intensive work on the loom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is a rich dark maroon — oxblood-deep, ceremonially authoritative, a colour that has been associated with auspicious occasions in Tamil tradition for centuries. Across this ground, Kamalam (lotus) butta in gold zari are arranged in a dense all-over jaal: row upon row of the sacred flower, each one individually woven, the whole body a field of gold lotuses that catches light from every direction. The butta are small and precise — the density of the jaal is the achievement, not the scale of any individual motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe border is a broad sweep of gold in Rettapet construction — twin parallel lines framing it at the edges, and within that frame, dense gold zari bands carrying Yaanai (elephant) and Kamalam motifs in procession. The Rettapet structure gives the border a stately, even composition that complements the busy richness of the jaal body. Dark maroon and gold: for the ceremony that calls for gravitas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❖ Pure mulberry silk body in dark maroon — dense all-over Kamalam lotus butta jaal in gold zari\u003cbr\u003e❖ Gold zari rows across full body in lotus butta formation\u003cbr\u003e❖ Broad gold Rettapet border with Yaanai elephant and Kamalam bands\u003cbr\u003e❖ Twin parallel Rettapet lines framing the border\u003cbr\u003e❖ Handwoven by generational weaver families in Kunnam village, Kanchipuram\u003cbr\u003e❖ Silk Mark certified pure silk\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idam Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52714091348244,"sku":"IDAM-DM-RT-FJ-001","price":346.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7355\/4964\/files\/dark-maroon-gold-handwoven-pure-silk-kanjipuram-saree-kamalam-butta-jaal-rettapet-border-01_cbe2aee5-0aaf-4ac9-a203-898c26bf5b68.jpg?v=1782612917","url":"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/products\/dark-maroon-and-gold-handwoven-pure-silk-kanchi-pattu-saree-with-kamalam-butta-jaal-and-rettapet-border","provider":"Idamliving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
