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.

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 :)
