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 yalis, birds and medallions are woven in antique gold zari on the loom, and each figure takes 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 sculpture, including yalis, elephants, birds, medallions and the temple triangle edge.
