How Kanchipuram Silk Sarees Are Woven

Kanchipuram silk sarees are woven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. Silk and zari are used to make these sarees. Korvai and Pettni are two key weaving methods.

Korvai joins the saree body and border in a contrast colour. Pettni joins the pallu to the saree body. These methods give Kanjivaram sarees their look.

Many motifs come from temples, nature and Indian art. Popular designs include Mayil (peacock), Annam (swan), Yali, Chakram, Rudraksham, paisley and floral patterns. Temple and Korvai borders are also popular.

RmKV brings these traditional weave methods into its Kanchipuram silk saree designs, backed by more than a century of silk heritage.
