Peacock Blue Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Saree with Varisaipet Chedi Butta and Korvai Magenta Border

Shot colour peacock blue-green in Kanchipuram silk is one of those grounds that cannot be explained until it is seen — a body that shifts between deep teal, blue-green, and turquoise depending on the light and the drape, the two-tone silk creating an almost iridescent surface that is entirely unique to pure mulberry silk. This Kanjivaram is woven in the Varisaipet tradition — the traditional multi-band border structure with repeated woven lines — with the body’s own surface rhythm carrying the Varisaipet character. Woven by our family’s artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.

The shot colour peacock blue-green body carries Chedi Butta in gold zari — fine creeper and floral motifs woven continuously into the body field, each one small and precisely rendered, creating a sustained decorative rhythm across the full width of the peacock silk. In a shot-colour ground, the Chedi Butta seem to float and shift with the body’s colour movement, appearing deeper in the teal register and more vivid in the blue-green.

The deep magenta Korvai border — where body and border are woven separately and structurally interlocked on the loom — arrives as a definitive colour statement against the peacock blue-green body. Dense Varisaipet gold zari bands in the border add structural weight, and the full-gold pallu in the same Varisaipet structure completes the saree at its highest ceremonial register.

Styling: Shot peacock blue-green and magenta is one of the most striking Kanchipuram colour combinations. A magenta silk blouse picks up the border colour; a peacock blue-green blouse creates a bold self-colour body effect. Pair with antique gold or emerald-and-ruby set jewellery. This saree photographs spectacularly in daylight and is an exceptional choice for weddings and Navarathri evenings.
