Draped a golden handloom silk, a Vaira Oosi (literally translated, Diamond Needle) kanjivaram, with thin needle-like zari lines running parallel all along the warp portion of the body of the Kanchipuram Saree. With lime green and gold borders and pallu.
The photos don’t do credit to the incredible gold hues of this treasured saree, I’m afraid. A case of not apt phone, lighting, dare I say photographer? No, model maybe.
Treasured saree,
Gifted by my dear Guru when I was with her in India for intensive lessons, 7+ years ago.
Wear it whenever I can, easy drape, feel my Guru is with me.
