The beautiful Kanjeeveram sarees (also known as Kanchipuram or Kanjiverum sarees) are traditionally woven silk sarees from the Kanchipuram village in Tamil Nadu, India.
These sarees have traditionally dominated Southern India for centuries. They are synonymous with every wedding procession, every special ceremony and occasion. They are made from fine mulberry silk which gives off a rich shine and the durability of the fabric has made them popular across the world.
The entire silk industry of Kanchipuram originated in the 15th century. The famous king of the Chola dynasty, Krishna-deva Raya, took the initiative of silk trade and it was during his reign when the famous weaving communities of Andhra Pradesh, the Devangas and Saligars, who migrated to Kanchipuram and started the silk industry from this city.
Although this fabric is quite expensive and has a charming look to it, it is inherently a part of several religious and traditional ceremonies. The earlier silk sarees had images of all the scriptures embossed on the walls of the temples of the Kanchipuram village.
Over the years, the images on the sarees have evolved.
