subject: Rich And Timeless Kanchipuram Silk Sarees [print this page] With latest embellished Designer Sarees thronging every store or online shopping store, it seems as though the traditional Silk Sarees have somewhere faded into oblivion. Nevertheless, this traditional art of weaving golden magic into luxurious silks is still alive thanks to those numerous connoisseurs of the traditional art of woven Silk Sarees.
Of all the varieties of Indian Silk Sarees available, the most popular Silk Saree is the Kanchipuram Silk Saree also known as the Kanjeevaram Silk Saree. The natural fiber of silk is obtained from the cocoons made by silkworms which are eventually woven into stunningly gorgeous Kanchipuram Silk Sarees. The nature and structure of the natural silk fiber account for the luster and sheen that a Kanchipuram Silk Saree emits. Kanchipuram Silk Saree gets its name from the small town named Kanchipuram in South India where these Silk Sarees are manufactured. Kanchipuram Silk Sarees are popular worldwide for the thick and lustrous quality of the silk and, of course, for the stunning zari woven pattern that adorns each and every Kanchipuram Silk Saree. The body of a Kanchipuram Silk Saree is in one shade while the border and the lower pallu of the Kanchipuram Silk Saree is in a contrast but complementary shade featuring glamorous golden zari woven ornate design. The more gorgeous varieties of Kanchipuram Silk Sarees are adorned with zari woven motifs throughout the Saree. This makes every Kanchipuram Silk Saree highly attractive. The pallu end usually features tassels. Every Kanchipuram Silk Saree comes with a matching blouse which is in a shade similar to the border and pallu of the Silk Saree rather than the main body of the Kanchipuram Silk Saree. The collection of Kanchipuram Silk Sarees available at Indian markets or available online at numerous online shopping portals includes Silk Sarees in both, rich and deep shades as well as light and pastel shades to cater to every liking.
