The body is woven with an all-over field of tiny repeating gold zari butta — too small to be named individually, too concentrated to ignore — creating a shimmer across the red silk that is ceremonial, luminous, and deeply traditional. The border carries Mayil Butta peacock and Yazhi — the mythic leonine creature of Tamil temple tradition — in heavy gold zari on a silk thread woven ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body of this Kancheepuram saree is deep red mulberry silk, every square centimetre of which is covered in a fine repeating gold zari butta in a dense diagonal pattern. This all-over butta treatment requires continuous shuttle changes across the full body width and takes significantly longer to weave than a plain body saree. The result is a red silk that catches light at every point, the gold butta creating a shimmer field rather than individual scattered motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe deep purple and forest green border carries a silk thread woven ground with Mayil Butta peacock and Yazhi figural motifs in antique gold zari — the Yazhi, a mythic beast combining lion, elephant, and serpent, appearing alongside the peacock in the classical Tamil temple motif vocabulary. The pallu continues this figural gold zari at increased concentration. The red-purple-green combination is one of the most classical in Tamil bridal and ceremonial silk, and this Kancheepuram wears it with full authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e❖ Handwoven pure mulberry silk\u003cbr\u003e❖ Butta weave — all-over dense gold zari butta field across red body\u003cbr\u003e❖ Red body with silk thread woven deep purple and green Mayil and Yazhi Butta border\u003cbr\u003e❖ Silk Mark certified\u003cbr\u003e❖ Woven by artisan weaver families we work with directly\u003cbr\u003e❖ Ships from New Jersey across the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Yazhi motif?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Yazhi is a mythic creature combining lion, elephant, and serpent features, drawn from Tamil temple sculpture and woven into Kanchipuram silk borders alongside peacock and floral motifs. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/idamliving.com\" style=\"color:#C4622D;\"\u003eRead our guide to the Kanchipuram Yazhi motif\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is red a popular but cautious colour choice for wedding guests?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRed is traditionally reserved for the bride in South Indian weddings, so guests often choose all-over dense gold zari butta treatments like this one — texture and shimmer over flat colour — to wear red respectfully without visually competing with bridal attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the all-over butta body different from a scattered motif body?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn all-over butta field covers the entire body in repeating gold zari motifs in a continuous diagonal pattern, requiring far more weaving time than scattered individual motifs, and producing a denser, more luminous shimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/collections\/by-butta\" style=\"color:#C4622D;\"\u003ecollection by Butta motif\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/collections\/festive-blouses\" style=\"color:#C4622D;\"\u003ematching blouses\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Idam Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52722959089940,"sku":"IDAM-RED-BUTTA-MYB-001","price":357.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0837\/7355\/4964\/files\/Kancheepuram-Red-Butta-All-Over-Zari-Purple-Green-Mayil-Border-05.jpg?v=1782778095","url":"https:\/\/idamliving.com\/products\/red-and-deep-purple-handwoven-pure-silk-kancheepuram-saree-with-all-over-zari-butta-and-mayil-butta-border","provider":"Idamliving","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
