Kanjivaram weaving is one of India’s oldest silk traditions. In the Korvai technique, the body is woven in one colour and the border in another, and the two are joined by interlocking the weft threads. This gives a sharp contrast that runs in a zigzag temple line where body meets border. The pallu is woven separately and joined in the same way. The buttas, the border and the pallu are woven in zari on the loom, with careful setting of the warp and weft.

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 gopuram edges, peacocks, paisleys and medallions.
