Royal Blue Handwoven Pure Silk Kancheepuram Saree with Zari Kattam Gandaberunda Butta and Varisaipet Border

Royal blue in Kanchipuram silk is a colour of the deepest ceremony — the blue of temple gopurams at dusk, of royalty across the South Indian tradition. This Kancheepuram is woven in the Zari Kattam technique, where fine zari threads intersect across the silk body to form a luminous grid. Each saree takes 8–12 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 royal blue body is woven in Zari Kattam. Gandaberunda Butta — the sacred two-headed eagle, an emblem of power historically associated with the Vijayanagara Empire — are woven in gold zari at measured intervals across this pure silk Kanchipuram. Explore our full range of Gandaberunda Motif Kanchipuram sarees.

The thick Varisaipet border carries dense gold zari in the traditional multi-band border structure. The pallu resolves in the same dense Varisaipet gold.

Styling: For Navarathri's Ashtami and Navami evenings, weddings of significance, and occasions where the saree carries iconographic meaning. Pair with sapphire-set or uncut diamond gold jewellery for bridal occasions; antique gold for festive wear.
