Border in Detail Evolution of the border and its significance
Enhancing its aesthetic value, the border makes any saree complete. Initially, the border was conceived as an add-on to stretch the longevity of saree and resist the wear and tear. Being the most abused part of the saree, the border takes the brunt of all attacks like getting dragged on the floor and scrubbed harshly to be cleaned etc. That is why it is made tougher and justifiably outlives the body. By and by, the border has evolved into a design element and an indispensable part of the saree.
Status-defining border
In olden days, there were some unwritten and unpleasant guidelines set for women in using the bordered sarees. Broad and bright colour borders were prescribed for married women, thin borders for widows and pastel borders for unmarried women. Thankfully, these stigmas disappeared in modern India.
Aesthetic guidelines emerge
Now women follow their own natural inclinations in choosing their Kanchipuram silk sarees. Tall women enjoy the luxury of Big border Kanchipuram silk Sarees and even double-width borders while shorter women go for dainty and Small Border Kanchipuram Silk Sarees.

Bold and beautiful border, the soul of Kanchipuram pure Silk Saree
A typical Kanchipuram pure silk saree has four unique characteristics- thick texture, vibrant colours, brilliant borders and pretty pallus. Obviously, the border which runs all along the saree, becomes the attention-demanding feature.
This highlight of Kanchipuram pure silk saree is curated with perfectly complementing/contrasting colours of the body and is given a special raised effect on the ground weave. Highly decorative, they are embellished with traditional and innovative zari patterns and motifs.The borders of Kanchipuram pure silk sarees that occupy Mavuri’s vault are woven with authentic silk and genuine gold zari.
Kanchipuram Silk Sarees The seamless weaves and timeless treasures
The border, body and pallu of Kanchipuram Silk Saree are created separately to be interlocked in an ‘impossible-to-detach’ joint. Joining the borders is the most intricate technique of the entire process. The highly talented Kanchipuram artisans create elaborate weaves of the mulberry silk with the zari to create spectacular borders, applying Korvai technique which means unity of opposed elements. Applying this technique, they build textured borders of an extensive colour palette.
Though basically Kovai is a weaving detail, it manifests into a design feature, creating innumerable forms, covering the entire spectrum- right from simple temple design and straightforward line interlocks to complicated puliyar moggu and thazhampoo reku forms. Replicated motifs enrich the border.
The motifs are inspired by temple architecture, culture, flora and fauna. Out of them, the Pyramidal Temple Border with rows of triangle motifs is distinctively unique to Kanchipuram Pure Silk Sarees. Vaira Oosi, Neli/Rettai Nel, Pavunpet, Vairam Salangai - Anklet design and Vanki are a few patterns commonly used in the border marking jewellery as a significant source of inspiration for weavers who constantly look for newness that unobtrusively enters their traditional path.
