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 canopy and parrot buttas, the elephant border and the elephant bands in the pallu are all woven in zari on the loom. Each figure 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 Kanchivaram silk. Weaving families there have passed the craft down through generations. The designs draw on temple architecture and processions, including elephants, parrots, peacocks and lattice patterns.
