Kanjeevaram Sarees - Sacred Silks
Kanjeevaram Sarees — The Sacred Silk of South India
Woven in the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, the Kanjeevaram saree is the most revered silk saree in India — the choice of brides, of goddesses, and of women who understand that some garments transcend fashion and become devotion. For over 400 years, the master weavers of Kanchipuram — descendants of the celestial weavers Sage Markanda who are said to have woven the garments of the gods — have been creating sarees of extraordinary weight, lustre, and durability from the finest pure mulberry silk and real gold zari. A Kanjeevaram saree is the only saree in the world where the body and the border are woven separately and then interlocked — a technique called "korvai" that creates the distinctive contrast border that is the hallmark of every authentic Kanjeevaram. GI-tagged and internationally celebrated, a Kanjeevaram saree is not merely a garment — it is a sacred heirloom that grows more beautiful with every generation. At Luxurion World, every Kanjeevaram in our collection is handwoven by master weavers from Kanchipuram, using pure mulberry silk and real zari, with above-fair compensation paid to every weaver.
