A look back at Ramar blue saree’s origin

Originating from the temple town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, the Ramar Blue Silk Saree draws inspiration from the religious and artistic traditions of the region. The saree is named after Lord Rama, an iconic figure in Hindu mythology and reflects the spiritual essence embedded in its design.

The history of the Ramar Blue Silk Saree dates back to centuries ago when skilled weavers in Kanchipuram began crafting these sarees as offerings to deities in temples. Over time, the artistry evolved and the saree became a symbol of auspicious occasions and is worn during weddings, festivals and religious ceremonies.
