About
A handloom silk saree tradition known for bold contrast-colour borders and rich zari work, produced in a Tamil Nadu weaving town historically overshadowed by its more famous neighbour, Kanchipuram.
Did you know? Arani's weavers are known for producing silk sarees at a noticeably faster pace than nearby Kanchipuram without compromising on zari density, making Arani silk a popular festival-season alternative across Tamil Nadu.
