Ivory Kanchivaram Silk Saree with Kundan Work Motifs

A Kanchivaram silk saree in a soft ivory, with a smooth, lustrous body that lets the silk speak for itself. Kundan work motifs inspired by the Gandaberunda, the two-headed mythical bird, are set across the body. Each motif is a cluster of ruby red and green stones with white polki accents on gold, shaped into the bird’s spread wings and curving form. A woven gold zari border of floral jaal and fine geometric bands runs along the edges, and the pallu carries the same zari. The ivory, gold and jewel tones look like temple jewellery set into cloth. It suits weddings, receptions, engagements and festive occasions, and it pairs well with pearl and gold jewellery.

Kanchipuram silk sarees are woven on handlooms from silk thread and zari. The weaver builds the pattern on the loom, thread by thread, so the zari and the border are part of the cloth itself. Kundan work is a jewellery craft in which stones are set into gold. Here it is used to form motifs inspired by the Gandaberunda, the two-headed bird of Indian legend, with ruby red and green stones and white accents set on gold and placed across the ivory silk.

Kanchipuram, in Tamil Nadu, has been known for its silk sarees for centuries. Weaving families here have passed the craft down through generations, and the saree is woven with the same tools and techniques that they have always used. Kanchipuram silk carries a GI tag.
