Kanjeevaram Sari, Geographical Indication (GI) stricture stipulates that the
decorative zari must have at least 57% silver and 0.6% gold in it. Kanchipuram
Sarees have GI label for the product since 2005.
The appeal of the Kanjeevaram
Silks lie in the elegant broad borders with colours and
designs different from that of the body.
The pallu or hanging end of the saree,
could continue with the same colour and design as that of the border or could
differ. If different, it is woven separately and then finely attached to the
main saree.
Typical motifs are sun, moon, peacock, swan, lion and mango.
Themes like jasmine flowers scattered between boundaries, parallel lines running
across or temple structures are also popular.

Silk Saree could be upto a lakh and above, based on the
design, motif and materials used.
