Deep Arakku Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Butta Saree with Grand Kamalam Zari Border

A saturated Deep Arakku Red gives this handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram saree its commanding traditional presence. The silk carries warm crimson depth through the open body and settles into richer, burnished red tones through its folds. Petite gold zari buttas appear at measured intervals, introducing light without interrupting the strength of the colour.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with petite gold zari motifs scattered across the body at measured intervals. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The body is grounded by a broad Deep Aubergine contrast border that approaches blackened maroon in its deepest folds, with Peacock Green woven bands creating an unexpected jewel-toned accent between the dark silk and warm gold zari. The border is defined by grand Kamalam zari medallions, woven in concentric lotus-petal geometry — each monumental lotus develops outward through successive rings of finely articulated petals, creating a radiant circular form in warm gold zari, and the repeated Kamalam sequence gives the border a stately rhythm, framed by fine geometric and ornamental zari registers. The pallu opens into an expansive field of warm gold zari worked with minute repeating geometry and framed by the same Arakku, Aubergine and Peacock Green colour story.

Styling: Pair it with a Deep Aubergine blouse to extend the dramatic border colour, or choose Peacock Green to bring forward the smaller woven accents. Antique temple gold, rubies or emerald jewellery would complement the rich traditional palette especially well.
