The Kanjeevaram saree, also known as Kanjivaram, is a type of silk saree originating from the city of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, India. Known for its rich texture, intricate designs and vibrant colors, Kanjeevaram sarees have been a staple in the traditional attire of Indian women for centuries.
Kanjeevaram sarees are made from pure mulberry silk and are known for their durability and longevity. They are handwoven by skilled artisans and can take several weeks to complete. The process involves dyeing the silk yarn with vegetable dyes, and then weaving it into the final product using a traditional pit loom.
