Kanjeevaram: A story of royalty and elegance

Handmade in South India from pure mulberry silk threads, Kanjeevaram sarees are the most beautiful. Their borders are distinguished by their high contrast. Temple borders, checks, stripes, and florals are among the traditional Kanchipuram sari designs (buttas). Images and scriptures found in South Indian temples, as well as natural elements such as leaves, birds, and animals, inspired Kanchipuram sari patterns and designs. Raja Ravi Varma paintings and epics from the Mahabharata and Ramayana are depicted on these saris with richly woven mundhi.
