Dark purple with dark biscuit colour – Air india modle

Description

Thirubuvanam wedding silk sarees are famous in South India. Thirubuvanam silk sarees are made of pure silk and gold plated silver jari thread with medium weight. Flature silk is used in Thirubuvanam Silk sarees for both warp and wept. This results in quality, shining, uniformity and luster. The “fan folding” of Thirubuvanam silk sarees is very famous and it has got its own advantages.

Tradition, medium weight and intricate motifs are the special features of Thirubuvanam Silk sarees. The body and border are woven in the same single warp. When looked closer one can see wedding jeweler too, the neli, or too toe ring, the vanki – jewelley for the arm, muthu or pearls……..those too are woven with zari into the borders. The luster of these silk sarees reflects as Queen of sarees.

BORDERS:-

Another speciality is that the sarees are with solid coloured borders or contrast borders with a series of delicately woven motifs in zari. The three bells denoting the chalangai or anklet could well be followed by the chequered pattern of the peacock’s eye, the arm jewel – the vanki, bunches of grapes, creepers and mangoes. All in one saree! And the touch of surprise – ‘meena’ work – or coloured thread in between the jari.

COLOURS

Revel in the plains – the endless brightness of parrot green, the depth of coffee brown, the shimmer of golden yellow. Or be surprised by the double colours – the blue-green mayilkazhuthu (peacock’s neck) the red-orange of a lion, the violet green of a new-born mango leaf.

PALLUS

Elaborate end pieces woven separately and then skillfully woven together with the main body, without any sign of joint and without the ‘petni’ work.
