Arnima - Handloom Kanchipuram Pure Silk Saree (Authentic Pure Zari & Silk Mark Certified)
Radiant, fiery, resplendent, drape yourself in Arnima, our handloom Kanchipuram pure silk saree where the first light of dawn kisses the horizon and ignites a breathtaking red-orange expanse. Woven from the purest mulberry silk and pure zari, Arnima is poetry woven in silk - each fold glowing with warmth and quiet brilliance, enveloping you in a grace so rare and serene that it leaves an unforgettable impression of timeless, effortless elegance.
The Enchanting Udal (Saree Body): Comes alive with pure-zari "Rudraksham buttas", arranged in a refined half-repeat that gives them a serene, meditative rhythm. Each tiny orb of light glints like sacred beads warming under the first rays of daybreak, scattered across the fiery body like blessings woven into silk. With every rustle, they gleam and fade like a divine pulse - soft, spiritual, and irresistibly captivating.
The Majestic Karai (Saree Borders): The borders rise in majestic harmony. Sleek 1.5-inch Ekam pure-zari frames that feel like the sculpted railings of an ancient shrine. Here, "stylized Annapakshi motifs glide with regal grace, their wings exquisitely shaped like Jadai Nagam". This entwining of forms - Annapakshi body with Jadai Nagam wings, creates a rare fusion of movement and mythology, "divided by pillars etched in fine Kayaru lines". The entire motif lies enclosed in gentle "chevron strokes", with "leaf anklets adorning the upper edge" and a glowing "red-orange selvedge" illuminating the lower border. Every inch radiates a subtle grandeur that enriches the drape with irresistible allure.
The Resplendent Mundhani / Thalaippu (Saree Pallu): The pallu unfolds like the inner sanctum of a temple bathed in golden light, pure zari shimmering across its expanse. Its design is structured in recurring bands, each telling its own story: the first band mirrors the border, showcasing "regal Annapakshi motifs, their wings flowing like Jadai Nagam, enclosed in Kayaru pillars adorned with Kamalam buttas". The second celebrates the "majestic Winged Gaja-Yazhi, divided by chevron-studded Kayaru pillars", powerful and mythic in presence. The third brings forth the "spirited Winged Horse, embellished with paisleys and framed within Kamalam-studded Kayaru pillars".
Between these recurring bands, the divided field is woven with geometric precision - "alternating columns of Vanki motifs and Kuyil Kann motifs, each lined with slender zari threads" guiding the gaze like temple pathways. "Paisley strips framed in chevron", "Pirai-madam segments", and "Kayaru-butta lines" enrich the composition, adding layered depth that glows like the architecture of a golden sanctum. The pallu concludes with the gentle embrace of "leaf anklets and a delicate zari lines at the start", reminiscent of the very first stroke of dawn across a quiet sky.
The Elegant Blouse: Completing this luminous creation is an unstitched red-orange pure silk blouse adorned with a matching pure-zari border, ensuring the entire ensemble flows in seamless harmony.

WASH, DRY & IRON PURE SILK THE RIGHT WAY
• For first three washes, dry cleaning is advisable for silk fabrics.
• If ever silk is washed in water, ensure it is washed in soft lukewarm water using a good neutral soap only.
• Squeeze lightly by hand to remove water after washing.
• Always dry the silk in shade only on a flat surface instead of hanging.
• Use low to medium heat while ironing.
• Always iron silk on the reverse side.
• Never spray water to dampen silk before ironing as it may cause water spots on the fabric.
• Do not wash the stains with water, instead give it for dry cleaning.
STORE PURE SILKS THE RIGHT WAY

• Avoid direct contact with wood.
• Protect silk from insects, dust, excessive moisture and light.
• Periodically (every 3-6 months) expose silks to fresh air and store after reversing the folds.
