Deep Forest Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchi Pattu Saree with Zari Kattam and Antique Gold Peacock Border

For Thiruvannamalai Karthigai Deepam observed at temples in the USA, this Deep Forest Green Pure Silk Kanchi Pattu has a beautifully grounded ceremonial presence. The dark green body is crossed with an exceptionally fine gold Zari Kattam, while traditional medallions, bird-inspired buttas and a richly worked gold border give the saree its old-world character.

This is a confirmed Zari Kattam Kanchipuram, where fine zari threads intersect across the silk body to form a luminous checked grid. A composition of this kind typically represents approximately 6 to 10 active days on the loom, although the exact weaving time can vary from one individual saree to another. Handwoven in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu for Idam Living. Read our story and meet the weaving community behind our sarees.

Body: The pure silk body is a magnificent Deep Forest Green, approaching Bottle Green where the silk falls into shadow. The colour has the depth of rain-soaked foliage. Exceptionally fine gold zari lines create a delicate Kattam shimmer across the body, punctuated by alternating round ornamental medallions and traditional bird-inspired zari buttas, generously spaced so the green remains the dominant impression. Explore our Pure Silk Kanchipuram collection.

Border: A broad Antique Gold zari border brings substantial ceremonial weight to the dark body. Large peacock-inspired ornamental forms move through the upper band, framed by intricate floral and geometric woven detailing. A narrow Burnished Orange selvedge finishes the edge, introducing a clear flash of warmth against the Forest Green and old-gold palette. Explore our Zari Kattam Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Pallu: The pallu becomes considerably richer, opening into an elaborate gold zari composition with geometric latticework, ornamental woven bands and traditional decorative detailing. Deep green silk remains visible through portions of the zari, allowing the end piece to feel intricate and substantial without losing the depth of the body colour.

Styling: Introduce a deep rani-magenta blouse as a deliberate complementary contrast to the Forest Green, then keep the jewellery to compact antique-gold earrings so the Kattam and broad zari border stay dominant. Wear the hair in a side-parted soft bun with a few loose face-framing strands and no flowers, and leave the pallu open.
