Raspberry Pink Handwoven Pure Silk Kanjeevaram Paalum Pazhamum Saree with Elephant Gandaberunda Buttas

A festival of colour unfolds through this dense four-ply Kanjivaram. Green like temple mango leaves, warm turmeric yellow and raspberry pink deepened with a flash of red move through the checks, while little elephant and Gandaberunda figures bring a sense of procession and story.

❖ Made to order, not off a shelf. This saree spent roughly 19 active days on the loom, in addition to dyeing, threading and finishing.

The dense four-ply Paalum Pazhamum arrangement gathers shifting checks of green, turmeric and rich pink-brown into one exuberant cloth. Woven zari Elephant and Gandaberunda buttas appear across the body, giving the checks their extraordinary character. Handwoven by artisan weaver families in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, for Idam Living. A saree of this complexity represents approximately 19 or more active days on the loom, with exact weaving time varying according to the individual saree. Read our story.

Border: The checks lead into a coloured silk edge with warm metallic-zari accents; the principal emphasis is on the complex checked body and contrast pallu.

Pallu: Raspberry pink with a distinct reddish shot, covered in intricate gold zari lattice and closely repeated woven details that catch the light as the cloth moves.

Styling: A raspberry-pink blouse with a small gold sleeve border will echo the pallu. For greater contrast, choose forest green or a restrained mustard blouse. Antique-gold jhumkas, a low braid and a neatly pleated front will keep the distinctive Elephant and Gandaberunda checks clearly visible.

Occasions: Navratri and Diwali celebrations, temple functions, wedding festivities and family ceremonies.
