Pure Kanchipuram Silk. A burst of sun-warmed manjal yellow meets the ceremonial splendour of arakku red, with molten gold zari gleaming like temple lamps at dusk. A whisper of kesari-orange warmth appears where the red and gold catch the light.
❖ Woven on traditional handlooms by artisan families in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, where generations of weaving knowledge shape every saree. Approximately 16 active days on the loom, followed by careful finishing.

16 Days on Loom
Pure Mulberry Silk
Handwoven in Kanchipuram
The bright yellow body is composed of stacked Varisaipet bands, a traditional sequence of woven stripes and ornamental repeats, including Vanki Pettu chevron accents and Neli Pettu wavelike detailing. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 16 active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.
Border The broad arakku-red border is built from stacked layers of gold-toned zari bands, with floral and geometric detailing and an angular temple-inspired transition from the yellow body.
Pallu The opulent arakku-red pallu displays intricate alternating vertical zari panels, floral scrollwork, fine geometric lines and broad ornamental borders, finished with yellow and red tassels.
Styling Pair with an arakku-red Banarasi brocade blouse with a deep-V neckline and elbow-length sleeves. Finish with antique-gold jhumkas, a low bun and fresh jasmine gajra for a vintage Kanchi look.
