Wedding season? Kanjivaram's the undisputed ethnic queen, flying off shelves faster than you can say "I do''.

Kanjivaram's story begins in a town called Kanchipuram, nestled in Tamil Nadu. The regal aura, the breathtaking beauty, and the unmatched craftsmanship make a Kanjivaram a showstopper for the ages.
Origin & History Of Kanjivaram Saree
Steeped in legend, the Kanjivaram weave hails from the town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu. For over four centuries, skilled weavers, some tracing their lineage back to Andhra Pradesh, have brought this exquisite silk to life. Their craft truly flourished during the reign of Krishna Devaraya.
But the story goes even deeper. Hindu mythology whispers that these weavers were descendants of Sage Markanda, the God's own weaver. Using the finest lotus fibers, they created silk fit for divinity itself - a material favoured by Lord Vishnu himself.
