Kanchipuram, India - loading silk thread into hand loom.

Kanchipuram, India – A couple of women load silk thread into a hand-loom, weaving the famous, much sought after, Indian Conjeevaram or Kanchipuram silk sari in the town of Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, South India. This is a centuries old craft, that flourishes in this one town in the whole of India. Kanchipuram saris are a must at South Indian Tamil weddings. Photo shot in the horizontal format.
