Chennai Silks weaves Rs.40 lakh sari, enters Guinness World Records

"Our director conceptualised the design and it was later taken over and executed by the weaving team. It's a team effort and the credit goes to Chennai Silks," Ramesh said.




The Rs.40 lakh sari was made on a request from a Kuwait-based businessman, who wants to remain anonymous.

Chennai Silks completed the first such sari Nov 26, 2007 and sold it Jan 5, 2008 to a Bangalore-based businessman, who bought the sari on the occasion of his 10th wedding anniversary.

A year later, a Kuwait-based businessman approached them for Vivaah Patu, which he bought for Rs.40 lakh.
