A typical Kanchipuram saree being woven has at least two weavers working on either side of it. The colour and design of the body fabric is different from that of the border.The pallu (hanging end of the Saree) could be in a third shade and if so would be separately woven and then joined to the main Saree Sun,Moon,Peacock,Sawan,Parrot,Lion,Mango etc. are popular motif subjects chosen for the patterns. The Jasmine bud within square frames, parallel lines across the Sun are popular motifs. Kanchipuram sarees has its own ethnic work. According to legends in [Hindu mythology] Kanchi silk weavers are the descendants of Sage Markanda, the master weaver of Gods who is supposed to have woven tissue from lotus fibre. Also, while cotton is considered to the be the favourite fabric of Lord Shiva silk was preferred by Lord Vishnu.[5]
Kanchipuram, a city in Tamilnadu has the pride of being the birthplace of Kanchipuram sari (or Kanjivaram sari). Kanchipuram saris are the traditionally woven saris, which have highest place in the silk saree industry. This place churns out silk saris through 20,000 looms with 2-3 weavers working on each loom. Four - Five lakhs of Kanchipuram saris are churned out of this place every year.In these saris, gold is incorporated in the motifs by dipping the silk thread in liquid gold and silver. The cost of these saris starts from Rs. 2,500.

The pallav, or the end thrown over the shoulder, and the borders are typically more elaborate and colorful than the rest of the sari. Kanjivarams used at weddings may have real gold woven into it throughout the entire saree. The weight of the heavy silk and embroidery adds up to create quite a bundle, which is probably why kanjeevarams are used for special occasions. They are passed from mother to daughter down the generations. The gift of a kanjeevaram is a gift that transcends time. Bright blues, purples and greens, or vibrant reds, oranges or yellows have formed the traditional color palette. Recently, colors have been combined to create a blue-green that varies according to light, or a saree that is beige in daylight and golden under artificial light.

To weave a Kanchipuram sari three shuttles are used. While the weaver works on the right side, his aide works on the left side shuttle. The border color and design are usually quite different from the body. If the pallu (the hanging end of the sari) has to be woven in a different shade, it is first separately woven and then delicately joined to the Sari.[6] The part where the body meets the pallu is often denoted by a zig zag line.[
