2. A Legacy of Craftsmanship – The Story Behind the Saree

The Gandaberunda Binny Crepe Silk Saree is more than just attire—it’s a tribute to South India’s regal past. The Gandaberunda motif, once the royal insignia of the Mysore Kingdom, represents cosmic harmony and invincible power.

At Shanmuga Priya & Azhagi, we revive this symbol through our collaboration with third-generation weavers from the Binny Silk clusters of Tamil Nadu. Binny Silk—developed in the early 20th century—blends fine silk with a crepe finish for a modern yet timeless drape. Our saree honors this legacy, marrying mythological symbolism with contemporary design sensibilities, all while preserving handloom heritage.
