Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 24-040-HS001-05212

Kanakavalli's November pick for The Beautiful Drape is a simple but stunning kanjivaram that plays with colour. The embellishments emphasise the sari's inherent geometry and dramatic layout.
The body of this kanjivaram in a dual shade of mustard yellow has emerald green vazhaipoo stripes, a pattern inspired by banana blossoms - a beautiful flower and beloved ingredient in South India. The weaver interprets the flower stylistically as alternating horizontal stripes of about 0.25 to 0.5 centimetres in width.
The borders in deep red shot with mustard yellow feature classic patterns in zari and emerald green silk thread, including bhugodi triangles, rows of thuthiripoo flower motifs enclosed within delicate seer lines and muthu seer (dotted lines inspired by pearls), as well as kann pettu, a band of dotted diamonds that resemble eyes.
The pallu, attached in the benth technique, is known as a seer pallu, featuring delicate bands in gold zari and emerald green silken yarn.
The beauty of this kanjivaram lies in its subtle yet striking use of colour to highlight the geometric simplicity of its embellishment. 

The zari in this sari contains 0.3% gold and 36-38% silver.

Approximate Length - 5.45 meters + 0.6 to 0.65 meters (attached blouse)
