Weave
Kanjivaram
From Tamil Nadu
South India’s temple silk — woven in Kanchipuram with three-shuttle technique, contrasting borders, and pure mulberry silk.
Kanjivaram (or Kanchipuram) sarees are characterised by their three-shuttle weaving — body, border, and pallu can each be a different colour, joined by an interlocking technique called pitni.
The temple connection
Weavers of Kanchipuram trace their lineage to Sage Markanda, the mythological weaver of the gods.
