Product Details

This saree in the image is a beautiful and elegant piece of Kanjeevaram

Here’s a detailed description:

Fabric and Sheen: The saree is crafted from a fine Kanjeevaram silk, known for its luxurious feel and natural luster. The fabric has a somewhat sheer or translucent quality, especially evident in the way it drapes and reflects light, which is often referred to as a “tissue” effect in sarees. This “tissue” appearance can be achieved through a very fine, loosely twisted silk yarn in the weave, giving it a delicate yet rich look.

Colors: The primary color of the saree’s body is a soft and enchanting lilac or light lavender purple. This pastel shade gives the saree a very delicate, sophisticated, and ethereal quality. The borders and the extensive pallu (the decorative end draped over the chair) are in a striking, lustrous gold. The combination of soft lilac and radiant gold creates a harmonious and opulent contrast.

Zari Work and Motifs: The saree is richly adorned with zari work, which is metallic thread work, traditionally made from gold or silver.

• Body: The lilac body of the saree features subtle, scattered zari buttis (small motifs). These appear to be small, simple geometric shapes, possibly dots or tiny squares, woven in gold zari. They are delicately spaced across the fabric, providing a gentle shimmer that complements the overall “tissue” effect without being overtly heavy.
• Border: The saree has a prominent and wide gold zari border. This border is designed with traditional patterns that has intricate checks, diamond motifs, or small geometric weaves, all executed in solid gold zari. The density of the zari work on the border is significant, providing a rich frame.
• Pallu: The pallu is the most elaborate section, entirely woven with dense gold zari. It features classic patterns often seen in Kanjeevaram sarees, which look like a series of interconnected squares, checks (kattam), or geometric grids. Each section of the grid might contain small, repeated motifs, adding to the intricacy. The solid and dense zari work on the pallu makes it the grand focal point of the saree.
• Fringe: The end of the pallu has a traditional fringe of silk threads, likely in a matching lilac or gold tone, completing its elegant look.
