Dharmavaram sarees are a unique variation of the traditional Kanjivaram sarees, distinguished by their distinctive borderless design and richly adorned pallu. Originating from the town of Dharmavaram in the Anantapur district of Andhra Pradesh, Dharmavaram sarees are identified by the absence of a contrasting border, unlike traditional Kanjivaram sarees and are characterized by intricate motifs and designs woven directly into the body of the saree, creating a seamless and elegant look.
The pallu of Dharmavaram sarees is adorned with elaborate patterns, often featuring motifs inspired by nature, mythology, and traditional Indian art forms. These motifs are meticulously woven using gold or silver zari threads, adding to the saree's opulence and grandeur.
