Royal Purple Handwoven Pure Silk Kanchipuram Saree with Zari Kattam and Kamalam Butta Yazhi Border

For a New Year's Eve Indian gala on December 31st, full silk glamour is the point — this saree is woven in the Zari Kattam style, where fine zari threads intersect across the silk body to form a luminous grid, as we explore in our Zari Kattam weave story. Every thread is hand-loomed by artisan families in the Kanchipuram silk-weaving belt of Tamil Nadu, and each saree takes close to a week on the loom and cannot be replicated by machine.

The body is woven in a regal royal purple pure mulberry silk, its fine gold zari lines forming a refined checked effect, punctuated with elegant Kamalam (lotus) buttas. Explore more from our Zari Kattam Kanchipuram silk sarees collection.

A broad traditional gold zari border adorned with majestic Yazhi motifs is finished with a green edge, flowing into a rich gold zari pallu. Discover more from our Korvai Kanchipuram silk sarees, Rettapet Kanchipuram silk sarees, and the full Kanchipuram Pure Silks collection.

This saree suits weddings, receptions, religious ceremonies, and treasured heirloom wardrobes. Pair it with a royal purple or gold blouse, and gold jewellery to complement the Yazhi border.
