Kanchivaram weaving is one of India’s oldest silk traditions. The body, border and pallu are woven separately and interlocked, which gives a strong border and a clear contrast. In this brocade, fine gold and silver zari lines are woven through the body, so the silk glows softly and changes shade in the light. The peacock border, the elephant bands and the leaf butta 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 Kanchivaram silk. Weaving families there have passed the craft down through generations. The designs draw on temple architecture and processions, including elephants, peacocks, paisleys and diamond lattice patterns.
