where to buy silk sarees in kanchepuram

Hi,

You have busses from Tambaram. Come by train from beach station to Tambaram Station. Come out and you will find lots of busses to go to Kanchi. Also you have trains at allotted timings to go to Kancheepuram. But the train timings will not suit you I beleive.

I am sorry I am not so sure of the street but as you have said that you know the names of the co-op soceities and as you have given it just give me a day's time I will enquire and post it here.

You could also call up 183 of the BSNL and enquire the address and phone number telling the names. Or call up 26444444 and can enquire them too.

 

hi ,



In kanchipuram theres a shop called "kaalathi silks" i got all my wedding sarees from that shop. But im not sure of the address. I think all the co operative stores are in gandhi road.

dear radhika,
i had done silk saree business in bangalore and i found varadashah and sons very good but the one with whom i did business is very much in chennai and next to kumaran silk area why dont u get it from there it self, all things that are manufactured are taken there, there is no price difference much, their sarees are heavy and very good in combinations, i used to pick up the best, whether it was silk thread work or simple zari's with a lot of color combinations, nowadays no one makes silver zari, so it would be good to invest on something that has a lot of work in silk thread and a small line of zari to enhance the work, these large borders of zari do curl up as u use and loose their shine in the long run. so good combi of colors and design work done in thread gives more shelf life to saree, never dry clean them, always use soap kai if stained, light warm water and soap kai will preserve the silk, nowadays we have softener, and liquid soap which is the solution for all these, as it is a natural fibre u need to take care well, if u dry clean all those chemicals damage the sarees for good..sunkan

Hi Sunkan
I was browsing thro the threads n bumped into your post.

Can you pls mention the name of the shop next to Kumaran's, which can be of use. TIA

 

You need to go to mettu street in Kanchipuram and this is famous for silk saree sale.
