Silk is manufactured in the state karnataka and the zari used in sarees comes from the state Gujarat and weaving process is done in kanchipuram.
The three main parts which define saree itself are body, border and pallu. One more unique thing about these sarees is that the design of the border and body are usually quite different but are in contrast. In case, the shade of the pallu is different from the border and body, it is woven separately and then carefully attached to the saree.
