Chanderi weaving dates back to the Vedic period, with references found in ancient scriptures. Historically, Chanderi was a favorite among royalty and nobility due to its lightweight, glossy texture and fine quality. The art of weaving Chanderi sarees has been passed down through generations, preserving the meticulous techniques and designs that characterize these garments.

The saree's fabric is primarily silk, which adds a regal touch, while the inclusion of cotton makes it more accessible and comfortable. The use of zari, a type of thread traditionally made of fine gold or silver, further enhances the saree's opulence. Zari work is often used to create elaborate borders and motifs, contributing to the saree's grandeur.

The creation of a Chanderi silk saree involves an intricate weaving process that requires a high level of skill and precision. Artisans use traditional pit looms to weave the fabric, integrating zari threads to form patterns. These patterns often include motifs inspired by nature, such as peacocks, lotuses, and vines, as well as geometric shapes and traditional Indian symbols.

The broad border design is a distinctive feature of this saree. The border is typically adorned with extensive zari work, creating a striking contrast against the body of the saree. This broad border not only adds to the saree’s aesthetic appeal but also symbolizes wealth and prosperity in Indian culture.
