Description

Kanjivaram Handloom, the “Queen of Silks” is from the temple town of Kanchipuram located in Tamil Nadu. This weave has been in existence since the Chola dynasty 1000 years ago. Kanjivarams are known for their bright contrast border and Pallu; this is possible because the body and borders are woven separately and then joined by a 3 shuttle technique called “Korvai” which requires two weavers.  zari, which is the fine gold thread that embellishes the saree, is an integral part of Kanjivaram. This adds to the brilliant luster of the motifs on the border and Pallu; and sometimes buttas all over the body. It is woven with 3-ply silk threads called “Murukku Pattu”. This along with the gold zari lends to its weight. This weave has many intricate motifs and unique colors. E.g. Gandaberunda, Yaazhi, M S Blue, Maanthulir green.

Mubbagam means three parts in Tamil. Kanjivaram sarees are famously woven in these traditional designs and showcases the geometric precision of these sarees and the skill of the weavers. In a mubbagam saree, the width of the saree is divided into three equal parts.
