HERITAGE
Kanchipuram sarees are one of the exotic pieces of drapery which has made its superior signature from the district of Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu and has touched generations of traditions.
According to Hindu mythology, Kanchi silk weavers are the descendants of Sage Markanda, the master weaver of gods who is supposed to have woven tissue from lotus fibre. Also, while cotton is considered to be the favourite fabric of Lord Shiva, silk was preferred by Lord Vishnu
The saris are woven from pure mulberry silk thread. The pure mulberry silk used in the making of Kanchipuram sarees comes from Tamilnadu .To weave a Kanchipuram saree three shuttles are used. While the weaver works on the right side, his aide works on the left side shuttle. The border colour and design are usually quite different from the body. If the pallu (the hanging end of the saree) has to be woven in a different shade, it is first separately woven and then delicately joined to the saree. In a genuine Kanchipuram Silk saree, body and border are woven separately and then interlocked together. The joint is woven so strongly that even if the saris tears, the border will not detach. That differentiates the kanchipuram silk sarees from the others.
