The word Korvai in Tamil applies to structured patterns used in music, dance and textiles. In music and dance, it’s about presenting lyrics in rhythmic syllables. In textiles, Korvai is a technique which connects the concepts of contrast and colour between the border and body of a sari.
The hallmark of a Kanchipuram sari, Korvai is a design which connects the heavier ply of zari borders to the body of the saree. The Zari border is interlocked in both the ends of the sari, and so it is also referred to as “three shuttle” weaving.
