The Reminiscence of Kanjivaram

Kanchipuram is a famous weaving site in Tamil Nadu. The silk sarees made here are known as Kanchipuram silk. Kanchipuram sari is woven from mulberry silk. This sari is also known as the Banarasi sari of Tamil Nadu as it is woven using gold thread. It uses silver threads along with gold threads.

According to mythology, weavers of Kanjivaram sarees are considered to be descendants of Maharshi Markandey. They used to make this sari for the deities from the lines of lotus flowers in ancient times. The present Kanjivaram sari has been famous for its superior craftsmanship since the time of Raj Krishnadev Rai.

How A Kanjivaram Saree comes to life

It takes three artisans to weave this sari. If one artisan is weaving on the right side, then another artisan can weave on the left side. 

The embroidery on the sari is done using gold thread. This sari is very skillfully woven featuring intricate work depicting human and animal figures, temple tops, geometric figures, etc. 

The color and embroidery of the edge are different from the sari. If the padar is to be woven in a different color, it is woven separately from the saree and then delicately attached to the saree. 

Kanjivaram saree features a ‘Pallu’, which differentiates in design and color from the body. The kanjivaram fabric is renowned for its strong and durable fabrics. It becomes more durable due to the three silk threads entwined together along with the silver wire.
