12 Kanjeevaram Sarees We Just Can’t Stop Drooling Over!
Kanjeevaram sarees are one of the most beautiful garments to come out of India. No matter which part of the country you belong to, this is a garment you must include in your trousseau! Check out these 12 styles we’ve curated for you!
Kanjeevaram silk sarees have their roots in the Chola dynasty when the ruler Krishna Deva Raya kick-started the production and trade of silk. This is why these sarees are often associated with a sense of royalty. Considered the epitome of sophistication, Kanjeevaram sarees are as big a staple in South Indian weddings as temple jewellery, which is one of the many reasons that the two are often clubbed together.
Now, whether you are a South Indian bride on the hunt for an exquisite heirloom or a bride that wants to wear Kanjeevaram sarees during a wedding function, we can guarantee that you’re going to have a great time scrolling through this list of 12 stunning Kanjeevaram sarees. Once you have an idea about the style you like, you’ll be ready to shop!
