Thirubuvanam Silk Sarees

Thirubuvanam, the historical town in the vicinity of Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu has withstood the test of time in preserving the art of silk weaving. Thirubuvanam saris are very rich in quality with fine counts of silk. Its specialty is the use of filature silk for both warp and weft, resulting in high quality, uniform and high‐lustre sarees. Thirubuvanam silk is folded like an angavasthram. This silk saree, known for its intricate border and pallu designs, are aesthetically embellished with fine zari. The wide borders in contrast colors with intricate motif patterns are very fascinating. Traditional products include saris and Pattu langas ‐ skirts. It takes almost 15 days to produce a saree with finesse.
