The pure mulberry silk body is a deep Bottle Green, dark and velvety in character. Fine antique-gold zari lines cross the silk to form generous Zari Kattam checks. Within them sit individual gold zari buttas, including ornate floral medallions and other stylised heritage forms. The measured geometry gives the body rhythm without overwhelming the richness of the green. Explore our Pure Silk Kanchipuram collection.

A narrow flash of Rani-Magenta introduces the broad antique-gold zari border, where repeated peacock imagery and fine ornamental detailing create a richly worked ceremonial edge. The pallu deepens into Rani-Magenta and magenta-purple, with fine horizontal zari lines opening into diamond latticework, small floral details and repeated peacock panels. The result has the dense, architectural richness associated with older Kanchipuram compositions. Explore our Zari Kattam sarees.

Styling: Echo the Rani-Magenta border with a plain silk blouse in the same saturated family, then keep jewellery to compact antique-gold earrings so the checked body and peacock zari remain dominant. Wear the hair in a side-parted sculpted bun with a small cluster of jasmine tucked low to one side, and leave the pallu open.
