This \u003cstrong\u003eKanchipuram\u003c\/strong\u003e saree from Idam Living, woven by the weaver families of Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, is that kind of saree — an ivory and arakku red combination that has been worn at every significant occasion in the Tamil ceremonial calendar for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is ivory silk — warm, luminous, and precise — and across it Yaanai Butta are scattered in arakku red silk thread: the elephant motif, full-form and detailed, each one woven in the deep ceremonial red against the ivory ground. The elephant has always been among the most auspicious of Kanchipuram's body motifs, its presence across the full length of the saree giving the body a processional rhythm that is both ceremonially correct and visually arresting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe border is arakku red silk carrying a Varisaipet structure in gold zari — traditional multi-band border structure with repeated woven lines — anchored by a prominent elephant procession band in gold: the Yaanai marching in a continuous line across the border's central register, flanked above and below by geometric gold zari bands. The pallu amplifies the same Varisaipet and elephant composition at full pallu scale, the ivory and arakku red completing itself in the most ceremonially considered way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❖ Handwoven Pure Silk — Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu\u003cbr\u003e❖ Silk Mark Certified — India's assurance of authentic pure silk\u003cbr\u003e❖ Yaanai Butta in arakku red silk thread | Varisaipet border with elephant procession in gold zari\u003cbr\u003e❖ Blouse piece included — tailoring available upon request\u003cbr\u003e❖ Falls \u0026amp; Pico finishing available upon request\u003cbr\u003e❖ Ships within 2 weeks from New Jersey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idam Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52669473128724,"sku":"IDAM-IV-VB-YB-001","price":346.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7355\/4964\/files\/Kanchipuram-Silk-Saree-Ivory-Arakku-Red-Yaanai-Butta-Idam-Living.jpg?v=1781566187","url":"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/products\/ivory-arakku-red-handwoven-pure-silk-kanchipuram-saree-yaanai-butta-varisaipet-border","provider":"Idamliving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
