The story of this piece
Violet is the colour of the kurinji flower, which blooms on the hills once in twelve years — a colour the town reserves for evening wear. The butta here are lifted one at a time on the loom, so no two sit at exactly the same distance, and the medallion border is worked dense enough to hold its shape when the saree is folded.
