Kanakavalli Kanjivaram Silk Sari 24-595-HS001-11526
Kanakavalli's pick for The Beautiful Drape this May is a striking kanjivaram that showcases some of the craft's most classic elements. Distinctive motifs, layouts and weave techniques come to life in fine silk and zari.
The body of the kanjivaram in off-white shot with pale beige is dotted with small manga (mango or paisley) motifs woven in burnt orange silken thread. The contrast korvai borders in a dual shade of burnt orange feature thazhampoo reku (triangle temple designs inspired by the sharp-edged petals of the screw pine or kewra flower) woven in burnt orange silken yarn rising into the sari's body, as well as rows of moggu (flower buds), benaras twill patterns, mayil (peacocks), diamond kann (patterns resembling eyes) and delicate seer lines, all in gold zari.
Between the body and the pallu of the sari - an area colloquially referred to as dindu by Kanchipuram's weavers - are intricate manga motifs, known as dindu buttas. The pallu is adorned with bands of moggu, benaras patterns, diamond kann designs and thazhampoo reku.
Rooted in tradition, this kanjivaram's contemporary interpretations of colour lend it a timeless elegance.
The zari in this sari contains 25-27% silver and 0.3% gold.
Approximate Length - 5.5 meters + 0.7 to 0.75 meters (attached blouse)
