Kanjeevaram saris is a brand and it gets its name from the temple town of Kanchipuram in south India. Kanjeevaram saris are heavy silk saris and this brand can be distinctly noticed because of its bright bold colors. I have always had an affinity for kanjeevaram silk saris because of their exquisite and contrasting pallus (the loose end of sari).
The vibrant colors in maroon, russet, vermilion red, purple, emerald green, mustard, peacock blues and the make the kanjeevaram saris an elegant statement! An Indian Bride's trousseau is incomplete without one.
Scenes from the Ramayana, Mahabharata, temple designs and birds and animal motifs make the Kanjeevaram saris very bold and captivating.

I have always been fascinated by Indian culture. I read and tweet 'Little India' regularly and my new favorite Nick Jr. clips are the stories of 'Maya the Indian Princess.' I love the food, clothing, religion, color - such an amazing nation.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful saris! Such a delight for the eyes! For my bridal shower, my wonderful friend decorated my hands with henna. Her mother brought me back a beautiful red sari as a gift and was able to help me put it on. I still treasure it today!
