Kadal Neelam Teal-Blue Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Butta Saree with Arakku Gold Zari Border

Kadal Neelam gives this handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram a saturated blue-green depth, recalling tropical water where blue meets green. The jewel-toned body is framed by a deep Arakku-maroon contrast, bringing a warm temple-toned richness to the cooler silk.

Traditional gold zari buttas are scattered across the body at measured intervals, leaving generous areas of Kadal Neelam silk visible between them. Their restrained scale keeps the unusual blue-green colour central while adding quiet points of classic-gold light across the surface.

Handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. The comparatively open Butta body develops into a much richer lower border, where Arakku-maroon silk and substantial gold zari give the saree greater architectural depth. Read our story.

Border: Deep Arakku-maroon frames the saturated Kadal Neelam body with intricate classic-gold floral work and layered ornamental zari bands. The warm red-maroon contrast grounds the blue-green body, while the denser gold treatment gives the lower edge a strong classical Kanchipuram presence.

Styling: A tonal Kadal Neelam blouse preserves the saturated blue-green body, while Arakku continues the contrast more traditionally. Antique gold creates a stronger ceremonial treatment. Pair with temple jewellery, restrained ruby, garnet or emerald accents, jasmine and an Arakku, dark-green or antique-gold clutch.

The Kadal Neelam, Arakku and classic-gold palette works naturally for Navarathiri and Golu gatherings, Vijaya Dashami, Deepavali, Karthigai Deepam, Indian weddings, temple celebrations, classical performances and other festive occasions, ceremonies, cultural gatherings and special occasions.
