Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 23-595-HS001-03737

Kanakavalli's July pick for The Beautiful Drape is an exquisite korvai kanjivaram, intricate in its embellishment and dramatic in its layout. 

The body of the kanjivaram in emerald green shot with black is adorned with muthu kattam or dotted checks that resemble pearls, enclosing floral motifs inspired by thuthiripoo (Indian mallow), a tropical flower, in gold zari and off white. The contrast korvai borders in brown shot with scarlet red feature temple-inspired gopura moggu, a row of diamond motifs known as diamond pettu, muthu seer (pearl-like dotted lines) and wavy neli stripes inspired by the bridal toe-ring or metti. Within these classic details is a broad band of patterns known as kadhir or grain motifs. The designs on the borders are executed in gold zari with hints of off-white, an alternate colour known as astiri subtly highlighting the palette. The pallu of the sari mirrors the borders, with an additional central band of diamond motifs in zari.

The zari in this sari contains 0.3% gold and 25-26% silver.

Approximate Length - 5.4 meters + 0.7 to 0.75 meters (attached blouse)
