The Chettinad/Kandangi sari has a rich history, originating from the Koorainad (currently known as Oranad) region near Mayiladuthurai in Tamil Nadu. This style of sari, featuring two borders and a checkered center, has been around for over 250 years. Historically, these saris were traditionally woven using both silk and cotton threads, which contributed to their durability and unique texture. The contemporary version, crafted with modern threads like 60Se, signifies the evolution of this traditional craft.
The Kandangi sari, particularly one woven in the 1920s with 40S and 40S threads, has been a subject of research among NIFT scholars. Their studies reveal that the saris manufactured in Karaikudi using 60Se x 60Se threads are modified versions of the original Chettinad Kandangi, preserving the traditional essence while embracing advancements in weaving technology.
