Forest Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Varisaipet Saree with Manjal Yellow Peacock Border
Forest Green Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Varisaipet Saree with Manjal Yellow Peacock Border
Deep green like the cool shade beneath a rain-fed neem tree, bordered by the bright turmeric yellow of a festival threshold. The contrast is unmistakably Kanchipuram, yet the green body lets each paired-peacock butta breathe.
❖ Made to order, not off a shelf. This saree spent roughly 16 active days on the loom, in addition to dyeing, threading and finishing.

Varisaipet gives the border its repeated horizontal order, while the forest-green silk body holds spaced double-peacock zari buttas. Their placement creates points of gold across an otherwise richly saturated, uncluttered field. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border: The manjal-yellow border interweaves coloured silk-thread bands with glowing zari rows, including peacock and Mayil Kann, the peacock-eye motif. Like sunlight striking foliage, the yellow edge heightens the green without overwhelming it.
Pallu: The bright yellow pallu unfolds into paisley ornament and a diamond-lattice zari grid. The repeated geometry lends a textured ceremonial finish to the strong green-and-yellow colour pairing.
Styling: Wear with a plain forest-green blouse for a long uninterrupted silhouette, or echo the pallu with a turmeric-yellow blouse. Gold bangles and a single pair of jhumkas are sufficient; a neatly fanned pallu gives the yellow lattice its full presence.
Occasions: Well suited to Vijayadashami, Diwali family celebrations, temple gatherings and classical dance or music events.
