History And Cultural Significance Of Kanchipuram Sarees
The origins of the Kanchipuram silk sarees can be traced back to Hindu mythology. According to legend, the Kanchi pure silk saree weaver is a descendant of sage Markanda, known as the Gods' Master Weaver. The timeless weave gets its name from the Silk city of Kanchipuram, in Tamil Nadu that dates back to 400 years. Two major weaving communities of Andhra Pradesh had migrated to Kanchipuram and created a 9-yard philosophy that bore images of mythological scriptures and temple figurines found around the village, which came to be known as the Kanjivaram.
