In Kancheepuram, they don't just weave silks but an entire tradition. Till 1865, there was no silk or even mulberry here. When the Maharaja of Mysore descended on the Varadaraja temple, sporting silk, he caught the fancy of the residents of the temple city. Today, 75 per cent of the city's population is engaged in the silk industry-some for more than five generations. Even now, the ready spools come from Mysore and the designs, gleaned from temples, palaces and paintings.

Says Yuvraj Srinivas, owner of a weaving house, “We do a lot of customized work too, with colours and patterns as ordered by a client. But the basic concept does not change. The paisleys, peacocks, yali (horse like motif) and temple designs remain the same old ones. Over time, we have also inducted motifs from the Baluchari of Bengal, that is, scenes from the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The Bhagwad Gita is also quite popular these days.” The colours are traditionally bright or earthy-scarlet, emerald green, black, ochre, purple, steel blue, peacock blue and turquoise-and some are specially made in red and white for religious occasions. One major difference between the Kancheepuram silk and the Mysore silk is that the former uses twisted yarn and the latter mostly crepe.

The twisted yarn is said to be much stronger than crepe and guaranteed to last 30 to 40 years. There are 100-odd silk shops in Kancheepuram, selling sarees that come out of more than 600 looms. They come in two categories, wedding sarees with heavy jaquard work and the less decorative multi-purpose ones.

One of the factors that contribute to its world wide recognition is the online shopping. Now people can easily find details about the Kanchipuram sarees through online shopping sites.
