The Legacy of Kanchipuram Weavers and the Story Behind Every Saree
Introduction
A saree is not just a piece of fabric — it's a tapestry of tradition, skill, and culture. This blog celebrates the legacy of Kanchipuram weavers and how every Sri Krishna Silks saree is woven with stories of devotion and heritage.
The Town of Temples and Threads
Kanchipuram, also known as the "Silk City," is home to age-old weaving traditions. Every design reflects inspiration from temple architecture, South Indian myths, and nature.
The Craftsmanship
- Woven by hand using mulberry silk
- Real gold and silver zari
- Motifs include peacocks, chakras, temples, and lotuses
Each saree takes several days or even weeks to complete, making it a true labor of love.
Our Role at Sri Krishna Silks
