Mayil Kazhuthu Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Butta Saree with Silver Maanga Zari Border

Mayil Kazhuthu gives this handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram saree an extraordinary shifting colour story, moving between deep peacock green, blue-green, shadowed teal and saturated purple as the folds catch the light. A saree like this comes alive beautifully for a Deepavali evening or an evening wedding.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with individually spaced zari motifs placed across the body at measured intervals. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 14 to 20 active days on the loom, although individual weaving time varies. Woven for Idam Living by skilled artisan families in the Kanchipuram district of Tamil Nadu. Read our story.

Body, Border and Pallu: The Mayil Kazhuthu Pure Silk body is scattered with petite thanga-zari Poo Buttas alongside larger stylized floral-tree buttas placed at measured intervals. A broad field of cool silver-toned zari frames the dark shot silk, carrying grand Maanga (mango-shaped paisley) motifs, alternating green Floral-Chakram bands, fine Arakku accent lines and closely ordered geometric Seer registers, finished with a crisp Vanki-inspired temple edge. The pallu opens into a luminous pale silver-toned zari field with dense geometric and ornamental patterning, warm-gold highlights and green and Arakku accents. Explore the Butta collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Styling: Use a tonal Mayil Kazhuthu blouse to preserve the extraordinary green-purple colour movement, or choose a cool silver-grey blouse to echo the metallic border. Antique gold jewellery brings out the thanga-zari details, while emeralds, amethysts or restrained diamonds can pick up the shifting colours without competing with the border.
