Kanjivaram Sarees

Shop Kanjivaram sarees online at Greenways — the queen of South Indian silks, handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu by skilled weavers who have mastered this art over centuries. Also spelled Kanchipuram silk saree or Kanjeevaram saree, these are celebrated for their exceptional quality, heavy silk weight, rich zari borders, and brilliant colour contrasts that make them the ultimate choice for South Indian weddings and festivals.

What sets Kanjivaram silk apart is its unique construction: the body of the saree, the border, and the pallu are woven separately using pure mulberry silk and then interlocked — a technique called korvai. This creates the distinctive colour contrast between border and body that is the hallmark of an authentic Kanjivaram.
