Temple Stories

Temple Stories is our edit of pure Kanchipuram silk sarees woven with temple motifs: temple borders, annam (swan), yaanai (elephant), mayil (peacock), rudraksha and thilagam motifs. Silk Mark certified pure silk with pure zari.

How to choose

For poojas and temple visits, choose a feather-light body with a temple border. For weddings and family milestones, a wider zari border with annam or yaanai motifs feels more ceremonial.

When to wear

Poojas, temple visits, Varalakshmi Vratam, housewarmings and traditional wedding ceremonies.

Styling

Temple jewellery is the natural match: a lakshmi haram, jhumkas and fresh jasmine. Keep the blouse simple so the motifs lead.

Quality

Handwoven pure Kanchipuram silk with pure zari, inspected before dispatch. Small weave variations are marks of handloom.
