I have worn this saree only a few times. It is lovely saree, and was gifted to me by my sister in law for her son’s thread ceremony.
My daughter is wearing an orange saree with red border. She is wearing my saree only. This orange saree was bought from a very dear friend of mine whose family deals in Kanchpiram sarees in Kanchipuram. They have been in this business for a long time. She got involved with it and used to bring lovely hand picked by her and used to sell them for a reasonable price.
I liked the border very much, it was a little unsusal with beautiful looking ducks embroidered in zari. And orange is my favorite color too.
This saree too is about 23 years old, and looks as good as new.
This picture was taken in a resort hotel in Swami Malai, in Kumbakonam, the most visited place in South, famous for its ancient Temples, especially Iyengar temples. We had come to attend the marriage of my nephew. We had a wonderful time staying in this resort , where one could see deers roaming about near our rooms, we could pet them, and the rooms were all Chetinad style with ancient wooden pillars, julas, each room had a different chetinad theme , and the food also was awesome there.
