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 zari checks, the peacock and elephant bands and the diamond pallu are all woven in zari on the loom, with careful setting of the warp and weft. The finished weave has a raised, rich texture.

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 art and processions, including peacocks, elephants and diamond patterns.
