Talking about the design of this saree, these sarees are very heavy and their border is also very heavy because there is gold and silver work on it. These sarees have traditional shapes of temples, flowers, animals and birds (like peacock, swan). The body and border of the Kanjeevaram saree are woven separately and joined later, giving a clear distinction.
