Hamsa Damayanti, a classic masterpiece by the celebrated artist Raja Ravi Varma, narrates the romantic tale of King Nala and Queen Damayanti, with a beautiful white swan playing Cupid between them. Woven in shades of crimson and laced with gold, the saga takes you back to the mythical era of fairy tale romances. The Hamsa Damayanti is not just a Kanchipuram silk saree. It is where classical art meets innovative design.
The saree pays tribute to the royal painter and his immortal classic on his 150th anniversary and the centenary of the painting in 1999. It is a display of the innovative workmanship the craftsmanship of the design team of RmKV, and the talented weavers who have recreated this moment of love in silken splendour. At a time when most silk sarees would use a maximum of 500 jacquard cards, this masterpiece meant the use of forty-five thousand jacquard cards and one lakh knots using “French Tapestry “to create this magical masterpiece. RmKV has always been innovative in their designs and it is little wonder that this exquisite saree won the National Award in 1999.
