Kodalikaruppur Cotton Saree

Kodalikaruppur saris, patronised by the Maratha kings of Tanjore, are exquisite works of art. Crafted through intricate Jamdani weaving with gold zari, they feature complex mordant painting and resist dyeing techniques. Museum specimens date back to the late 18th and early 19th centuries, but their production declined after the British annexed Tanjore in 1855.

This sari captures the essence of Kodalikaruppur saris without the extra-weft patterning in gold zari. Handwoven with the finest cotton yarns, it is crafted using the same traditional techniques and materials as the hand-printed revival saree, featuring natural dyes and meticulous hand block printing.
