A Kanchipuram sari (Kanjivaram sari) is a type of sari that is traditionally made by weavers from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. The cost of a Kanchipuram sari can vary according to the complexity of the patterns, the number of colours used, and the material used, such as zari, silver, and gold threads. The saris woven with heavy silk or gold work on them are worn on auspicious occasions and festivals.

Great use of light, beautiful !
Good light play and selective coloring…
Creative use of light and colour :)
Brilliant use of selective colouring…..great shot… :-)
A meditative photo!
great contrast of lighting and more….contrast between the weaver in a sleeveless vest toiling over a sari which some woman will wear on a dressy occasion. Hope he is getting paid his just wages
gorgeous as ever
Splendid composition, love the light!
Well done!
It is such a good portrait of this weaver, concentrating on his work. Love the backlight. And the glimse inside this workplace.
I know its been said but I love the lighting and the expression on the man’s face as he examines the cloth (which such a remarkable blue in it)
Lovely… :)!
Nice shot.
The lighting really accents the wearer’s mood here. Love it.
mood is where it’s at & this has it.
I love this blue! Beautiful shot.

NIce one! :-)
Wonderful use of Lights in the capture.
Most interesting image and subject ! Anything hand-crafted is very difficult to find nowadays.The pattern and the bright colours of the weaving material on the loom is really fabulous !!! You have perfectly captured and framed the scene !
Lovely light in this shot.
Joli portrait avec cette lumière. Bravo.
Loved the interplay of lights and shadows
I love the colors of the saris I have seen over the years, Joshi. I’m very sure it is a unique art, worth its weight in gold!
There’s a lot of symbolism and contrast in this image. More than what one perceives at first glance. Dark and white, vest and saree, bright blue fading into almost monochromatic hues. I also see that you are not afraid to break the rules, I would be too afraid of blowing the highlights in this image. Perhaps that is also a contrast between me, a dilettante photographer and you, a professional :)
Great shot.
Lovely…it’s like I get to travel through your photography. :)
beautiful light!!
I’m just admiring how the blue look so royal in this light! Wonderful!

This absolutely must be painstaking work. The backlighting adds so much atmosphere. Nice work, Joshi.

I’ve never tried weaving. What a talent / what patience!
great lighting, good capture of the setting

very nice Joshi. I love that even though the window is the “brightest” spot in the photograph, my eyes still go to the weaver. Beautiful lines too.
Like the light and blue that stands out
