Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 23-040-HS001-09291

Kanakavalli's October pick for The Beautiful Drape is a gorgeous monotone kanjivaram that features some of the craft's most classic motifs and patterns.
The body of the kanjivaram in sea green shot with deep red is dotted with exquisite kamalam or lotus motifs in zari. The borders feature a central band of gold mayil kann (peacock's eye) designs. On either side of this are muthu seer, dotted zari lines that resemble pearls, flanked by fine seer lines woven in brown. Within these is a row of kattu thuthiripoo, motifs inspired by a tropical flower, separated by vertical lines in maroon, alongside a row of salangai (anklet) patterns. The pallu is adorned with thazhampoo moggu, inspired by the temple gopuram, as well as rudraksh and kamalam motifs separated by vertical lines, and benaras patterns, all in zari. Highlighting the pallu are rows of fierce, elephant-headed gaja yalis, as well as figures sitting atop horses, with smaller yalis below. The centre of the pallu is woven with a broad band featuring diamond kann (eye) designs.
