Radiant Vermilion Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with 2gram Zari and Antique Gold Border

Radiant Vermilion Red Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjivaram Butta Saree with 2gram Zari and Antique Gold Border

Radiant Vermilion Red gives this handwoven pure silk Kanjivaram saree an immediate ceremonial glow. The body is intentionally restrained, leaving generous areas of luminous red silk visible between petite handwoven zari buttas. Each small gold motif catches the light quietly against the saturated body, allowing the colour itself to remain one of the saree's strongest features.

❖ Handwoven to order. 40 days, start to finish — from dyeing the silk thread to the final weave on the loom.

This is a confirmed Butta composition in pure mulberry silk, with small handwoven zari buttas placed at measured intervals across an otherwise open silk field. A saree of this type typically represents approximately 16 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 saree has been supplied with 2gram zari terminology, which is preserved here exactly as a product-specific detail. Across the body, the zari appears in small measured buttas rather than an all-over pattern. The antique-gold border becomes considerably richer, moving through fine geometric lines, ornamental registers and traditional woven forms while still allowing the Vermilion Red silk to frame the gold. The pallu provides the strongest metallic moment: a broad antique-gold zari field is woven into a dense diamond lattice and bordered by long structured registers, with the gold becoming progressively richer toward the end of the saree. Explore the Butta collection, or browse the wider pure silk Kanchipuram collection for more of this character.

Styling: Pair it with Vermilion Red for a seamless traditional look, antique gold for a more ceremonial treatment, or deep green for a classic contrasting blouse. Temple jewellery, antique gold, traditional jhumkas and a low bun or long braid complement its character beautifully. It is especially suited to weddings, temple occasions, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali and other festive gatherings.

Blouse Piece Included: 0.8m running blouse piece. See our Blouse Stitching Guide.

Frequently bought together

What makes this Vermilion Red Kanjivaram a Butta saree?
The red silk body is kept intentionally open, with small individual zari buttas placed at measured intervals. The repeated standalone motifs are the defining body treatment of this Butta composition.
What does 2gram mean in this saree listing?
2gram is the product-specific zari terminology supplied for this saree. Idam Living preserves that description as supplied and does not use it to make additional claims about precious-metal percentage or zari composition.
How would you describe the red colour in person?
The silk reads as a radiant Vermilion Red with a warm ceremonial character. It becomes brighter in direct light and develops deeper crimson-red shadows across the folds.
Why does the pallu look richer than the body?
The body leaves generous areas of red silk visible between petite zari buttas. The pallu changes to a dense antique-gold diamond lattice with additional woven registers, creating a much more metallic finish.
Which blouse colours suit this red Kanjivaram saree?
Vermilion Red gives the most seamless traditional pairing. Antique gold can make the look more ceremonial, while deep green creates a classic Kanchipuram contrast.
