It is reputed for the silk sarees and temples. The sarees are hand made from pure mulberry silk and decorated with a fine gold thread and borders. Every woman in South India seeks to own a Kanjivaram saree and add appraise their wardrobe by having atleast one such saree in their collection.

These sarees are also regarded highly in North India.
