Kanchipuram Silk (locally called Kanjipuram pattu) – Tamil Nadu

Kanchipuram silk saree, also known as Kanjipuram pattu saree, is a type of silk saree that originates from Kanchipuram, a town located in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. These sarees are known for their intricate designs, vibrant colors, and durability.

The silk used in Kanchipuram sarees is of high quality, and the weaving process is quite complex. The silk threads used in the sarees are first dipped in rice water and dried, which gives them their stiffness and durability. The zari used in the sarees is made of gold or silver and is woven into the fabric to create intricate designs.

Kanchipuram sarees are typically characterized by their bold and vibrant colors, such as bright reds, deep blues, and rich greens. The designs on the sarees usually depict traditional motifs such as flowers, leaves, and paisleys. The border of the saree is usually wider than that of other sarees, and the pallu (the end of the saree that is draped over the shoulder) is also quite distinctive.

Kanchipuram silk sarees are highly prized and are often worn by women on special occasions such as weddings, religious ceremonies, and festivals. They are also popular as gifts for family members and friends.

There are several different types of Kanchipuram silk sarees, each with its own unique characteristics and designs. Here are some of the most popular types:

1. Traditional Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees are characterized by their intricate designs and use of pure silk and zari. They typically have broad borders, and the pallu is often heavily embellished.
2. Temple Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees feature designs inspired by the motifs found in South Indian temple architecture. They often have a lot of gold zari work and are generally more subdued in color than traditional Kanchipuram sarees.
3. Reversible Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees are woven in a way that allows them to be worn on either side, with two different designs and color combinations.
4. Ganga-Jamuna Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees are made using two different colors of silk thread, which are woven together to create a beautiful contrast. They are named after the Ganga and Jamuna rivers, which are said to merge at Allahabad in North India.
5. Checks and Stripes Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees feature checks or stripes in the body and pallu, and are often worn for more casual occasions.
6. Bridal Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees are heavily embellished with intricate zari work and are often in shades of red and gold. They are considered to be the epitome of South Indian bridal wear.
7. Printed Kanchipuram Silk Sarees: These sarees feature printed designs rather than woven ones. They are generally less expensive than traditional Kanchipuram silk sarees.

Each type of Kanchipuram silk saree has its own unique appeal and is worn for different occasions. However, all of them share the hallmark of being beautifully crafted and highly prized for their intricate designs and use of high-quality silk and zari.
