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. The fine zari mini checks cover the body, and the paisley bands, temple edge and pallu patterns are all woven in zari on the loom, with careful setting of the warp and weft. The broad olive gold panel is woven with fine zari lines, which gives it a soft metallic glow against the purple.

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 nature, including paisleys, peacocks, elephants and temple edges.
