The second post in the India traditional womens clothes series showcases the beautiful Kanchipuram silk sari from the Kanchipuram region in Tamil Nadu. This style dates back centuries too when these sarees were woven in temples. The distinctive features are the exquisitely woven boarders and pallu in a contrasting colour with heavy gold weaving, created by silk threads dipped in liquid gold or silver. These are combined with three other threads to give these sarees strength and a luxurious feel. The perfect saree to worn on a special occasion, A South Indian bride is incomplete without a kanchipuram saree in her bottom drawer.
I have completed the outfit with a manga tikka, head jewelry, that symbolizes the chakra, the third eye. This is believed to help concentration, activating knowledge, wisdom, courage, and will power. The origin is a bit gruesome. The legend is that a victorious king would smear the blood of his enemy on the queens forehead, including the parting of her hair. The manga tikka is mandatory for a bride to wear on her wedding day. It covers the Agya Chakra, signifying the couples holy union on a spiritual, physical and emotional level. This is teamed with ear cuffs, a symbol of wealth and status in ancient times.
The bangles in green are only worn by married women and they symbolize auspiciousness.
