Woven in the Butta tradition, Deep Arakku red silk, recalling the polished glow of traditional lac dye, is scattered with petite Mayil Chakram zari buttas and small gold circular medallions. Warm copper-russet reflections appear across the folds in the light. 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: A deep Arakku-red border arranged in layered antique-gold zari registers, with an especially prominent panel of large peacock-inspired figurative motifs, curling foliage, circular floral elements and slender geometric lines.

Pallu: A grand Arakku-red pallu carrying a long central ornamental zari panel, framed by narrow patterned lines and a densely decorated gold band at the edge.

Styling: Choose a matching Arakku blouse for classic Kanchipuram richness or a muted copper silk blouse to pick up the warmer glow. Keep jewellery old-gold and the shoulder drape clean so the figurative border reads clearly.

Frequently bought together

What makes this a Butta Kanchipuram saree?
Butta refers to the individual woven motifs spaced across the body. In this saree, Mayil Chakram motifs and small circular zari medallions punctuate the silk, while the border and pallu are substantially richer.
What does Arakku describe in this saree?
Arakku refers to the deep lacquer-red colour family in Kanchipuram silk. The fabric reveals copper-russet highlights where light catches the folds.
How are the motifs distributed?
Mayil Chakram zari buttas appear at intervals across the body; the border is more densely woven with larger peacock-inspired and floral forms.
Would a matching red blouse make the border less visible?
A matching Arakku blouse keeps the silk colour continuous while the gold border remains strong. A muted copper blouse is another option, and Idam Living can discuss customised stitching.
How should I care for this gold-work border?
Dry clean only. Store folded in soft muslin away from sunlight, and do not apply perfume directly to the silk or zari.
