Kanjivarams are the age-old sari weaving traditions followed in the temple town of Kanchipuram in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. Woven in the temple town they acquire a special significance. Kanjivaram silks come in different weights of silk, ranging from light to heavy. In the southern part of India they form an unmistakable part of the weddings and other auspicious occasions. The weaves are exquisite and are often woven with pure gold zari threads increasing their value. Indeed Kanjivarams are the pride of South India

This Kanjivaram sari comes in a beautiful green color with small zari butis. The sari is quite heavy with a wonderful shine of silk. The border of the sari is woven on both sides of the sari with a close zari weave and red triangles on the zari.

It is the Pallav that is more intricate and enhances the beauty of the sari. The pallav is in a contrasting crimson color with motifs of the Kalash (traditional pots) that are colorfully woven with red, yellow, and green colors. The kalash has a religious and symbolic value in the Hindu way life.
