Deep Arakku Maroon Handwoven Lightweight Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Zari Kattam and Ornate Gold Zari Border

Deep Arakku-maroon silk gives this lightweight Kanjivaram a dark, burnished richness. Gold Zari Kattam travels confidently across the body, with petite woven motifs placed between the checks, before the saree opens into a broader antique-gold border and an exceptionally dense pallu.

Woven in a Lightweight Kanchipuram construction, the dark Arakku body carries a strong gold Zari Kattam grid with alternating petite buttas, creating a traditional checked vocabulary without making the entire saree visually dense. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 21 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: Antique-gold zari is arranged in substantial ornamental and geometric registers, giving the deep maroon body a firm ceremonial frame without introducing another strong colour.

Pallu: The pallu is particularly rich, with a dense diamond-grid zari field and long traditional ornamental bands. The concentration of gold against the deep Arakku-maroon creates a warm, burnished finish.

Styling: Pair it with tonal Arakku, antique gold or dark green. Because the grid and pallu already carry substantial gold, keep jewellery deliberate rather than layered heavily. A neat bun, traditional earrings and an open shoulder pallu give the saree a strong, composed evening presence.

Well suited to Navratri and Dussehra gatherings, Diwali, weddings, receptions, temple programs, cultural events and special occasions.

Slight color variations due to screen and lighting; daylight photos/videos available on request.
