Green Kanjivaram Silk Saree With Blouse Piece

Paithani silks, known for their rich heritage, intricate designs, and vibrant colors originating from the town of Paithan in Maharashtra, India, are characterized by their unique weaving technique, which involves weaving the pallu and border separately from the body of the saree. The pallu and border are intricately woven with gold or silver zari threads, creating elaborate designs inspired by nature, mythology, and traditional Indian motifs.
One of the distinctive features of Paithani sarees is the use of pure silk threads for both the warp and weft, resulting in a luxurious and lustrous fabric that drapes elegantly. The sarees often feature motifs such as peacocks, parrots, lotus flowers, and geometric patterns, woven using a supplementary weft technique known as kadhuwa or kadiyal. Paithani sarees are also known for their vibrant colors, achieved through the use of natural dyes extracted from plants, minerals, and insects.
