Kanchipuram - Permanent Pictorial Cancellation

 A Permanent Pictorial Cancellation was introduced at Kanchipuram on 18th April 2023. 

Over the centuries, a range of several patterns has become characteristic of kanjivaram silk sari. These motifs play a twin role-aesthic appeal and reflection of symbolic meaning.

The beautiful swan is a recurring and celebrated motif on the Kanjivaram drape. Referred to as 'chakravaha' these graceful and elegant annapakshi had higher connotations of fidelity in ancient literature. Kumarasambhava, Kalidasa's epic poem, refers to a garment as hamsa dukula, describing this bird as a feature of decoration on the bridal sari.
