Kanjivaram weaving is one of India’s oldest silk traditions. The body, border and pallu are woven separately and interlocked, which gives a strong border. The zari checks, the peacock and round buttas, and the peacock band in the pallu are all woven on the loom. Each design takes careful setting of the warp and weft, and the finished weave has a raised, rich texture.

Kanchipuram is a temple town in Tamil Nadu and the home of Kanjivaram silk. Weaving families there have passed the craft down through generations. The designs draw on temple architecture and nature, including peacocks, medallions, checks and lattice patterns.
