Thirubuvanam Silk Sarees
The Thirubhuvanam silk saree, known for its intricate border and pallu designs, measures about 18 feet in length and 4 feet in breadth with one side border. The speciality of the saree is that filature silk is used for both warp and weft resulting in high quality, shining, uniformity and lustre. Known as a traditional wedding saree of medium weight with motifs, body and border woven in the same single warp, its pallu is woven continuously on the loom. The weaving technique used in the making of the saree is called porai ilupu, which distinguishes it from the pitni work of Kancheepuram silk saree. Another uniqueness of the silk saree is its visiri madippu — a pattern of folding that looks like a hand-held palm fan.
