Mysore Silk Sarees
Mysore silk is Karnataka's pride — a pure, feather-light silk with a soft natural sheen and a fine gold zari border. Where Kanjivaram is grand and heavy, Mysore silk is understated and effortless: the saree you can wear all day and still feel graceful in.
As a Puttur saree house, Mysore silk is close to home for us. Thamanvi Silks curates pure Mysore silk sarees in classic single tones and elegant contrast borders.

Browse all sareesWhy Mysore silk is loved
It is woven from pure mulberry silk with a plain, lustrous body and a slim zari border, which makes it beautifully lightweight and easy to drape. The minimal design is its charm — a single rich colour with a gold edge reads as quietly luxurious, perfect for those who prefer elegance over ornament.
Best occasions for Mysore silk
Mysore silk is ideal for office and formal wear, temple visits, festive mornings, house functions and as a graceful gift saree. Its light weight makes it comfortable for long days when a heavy Kanjivaram would be too much.
Choosing your colour
Classic Mysore silk shines in solid jewel and earth tones — mustard, maroon, teal, peacock blue, olive — set off by a contrast gold border. Because the design is simple, the colour does the work, so pick a shade that flatters and pair with delicate gold jewellery.
Keeping it fresh
Dry clean only, and store in a breathable cotton or muslin wrap. Mysore silk creases easily, so fold it neatly and refold along new lines occasionally. A light steam (never a hot iron directly on the silk) revives the drape before wearing.
