‘Tracing the Footsteps of Kanchipuram Sarees’ – a saree story event was held at Shanthi Seshadari’s residence, powered by Indoindians and its saree story team of Jyoti Chawla, Arti Gidwani, Shanthi Seshadari and Poonam Sagar.
Saree Story Team
The entire space was decorated with Shanthi’s personal collection of Kanchi sarees, each of which had a story such as the millenium saree or the Ramayana saree. Another saree had a unique tapestry style woven border. This set the backdrop for 12 beautiful models who showcased the beautiful Kanchipuram sarees in different hues and weaves. Even the members of the audience chose to attend the event to flaunt their Kanchipuram Sarees.
Kanchipuram Sarees comes from Kanchipuram, a city in Tamil Nadu. These sarees are used particularly during important milestones such as marriage ceremonies. The reason is because these sarees are woven with mulberry silk, threaded with golden and silver thread. Therefore the heavier the saree, the more likely that it is highly prized with better quality. The most expensive saree is said to be a red Kanchipuram saree that uses mulberry silk, diamonds and precious stones in the fabric.
Apart from the Nivi drape, one of the models, Raji Mani draped the madisar style saree.
