Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Mayil Chakram Butta

For a Christmas family dinner in the diaspora, where festive lights meet familiar traditions, deep violet offers a rich, contemplative alternative to red and gold. This Kanchipuram saree is woven in the Mayil Chakram Butta style, with peacock-wheel motifs worked in gold zari across the body. Each saree takes 13 days on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine. Woven by our family's artisan weaver families in Kunnam village near Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu — read our story.

The body is woven in deep purple-violet pure mulberry silk, with gold zari mayil chakram (peacock-wheel) butta work and small floral buttas spaced across the field. Browse our full Mayil Chakram Butta Kanchipuram collection.

The border and pallu open into a deep maroon-gold band with structured geometric zari work, giving the saree a warm, formal finish. See more pure silk Kanchipuram pieces.

Pair with a maroon or gold blouse, antique gold jewellery, for a Christmas family dinner, a New Year function, or any festive winter gathering.
