Distinguished by its rich heavy gold zari weaving, the magnificent Kanjeevaram or Kanjivaram sarees from South India have a rich history that can be traced back to the times of Hindu Gods and Goddesss. It is believed that Sage Markanda who used to make clothes for Gods started the Kanjeevaram Silk weaving for the very first time and today's Kanjivaram saree weavers are his descendants. Kanjivaram Sarees are pure silk sarees which are easily one of the most popular wedding sarees, specially in South India.
