Late Veeraraghavan Ji's Sons
"My father did not simply weave a Korvai. He joined two sarees into one without a single stitch, so that no one could tell where one silk ended and the other began. We grew up watching hands that exact."
Late Shri K. Veeraraghavan, a distinguished Kanchipuram handloom weaver, was honoured with the National Award in 1992 for his mastery of the Korvai technique. Today his sons carry that legacy forward, keeping this specialised tradition alive and standing as proud flagbearers of the skill and craftsmanship passed down through their father, and through generations before him.
