Dark Blue Cotton Handloom Saree With Green-Gold Temple Border

The ancient temple had been lit up with hundreds of oil lamps. From a distance, it appeared as if someone had painted it in gold. The golden glow looked surreal against the midnight blue sky. Inside the temple, lamps had been lit under the trees, and the green colour of low-hanging leaves was conspicuous even at night. It was simply magical.

This dark blue cotton saree with green-gold temple border is a tribute to time-tested traditions and a priceless culture. Its appeal lies in its dignified simplicity.

Heritage and Origin

Chettinad cotton sarees, also known as Kandaangi sarees, are primarily woven by Devanga Chettiars, a community of weavers practicing this art since ancient times. The saree gets its name from the Chettinad region in the Sivaganga district of Tamil Nadu. A cluster of 96 small villages in the Sivaganga district cumulatively comprise the Chettinad region, which is quite well-known for its cuisine of the same name. Culture and traditional are essential parts of the Chettinad identity. The people are known for their lavish lifestyle, flamboyance and jewellery.

In this region, sarees are an intrinsic part of nearly all occasions, including births, celebrations and festivals; they are also frequently given as gifts. Usually handwoven with thick cotton on pit looms/raised pit looms using the fly shuttle weaving technique, Chettinad sarees are not translucent. The lightweight cotton fabric makes it ideal for wearing in hot and humid weather. Chettinad sarees are known for their prominent colours which are the result of a skillful amalgamation of broad stripes, bold checks and contrasting colours. Kandaangi sarees continue being popular, even among teens and younger women, due to their versatility and ethnic look.
