About:

Arni is a town in Tiruvanamalai district in Tamil Nadu.
The silks from the town of Arani in Tiruvannamalai are equally famous as the Kanjivaram; but they are lighter than them.
The sarees are woven with mulberry silk in warp and weft, with or without too much Zari.
The highlight of an Arani pattu is the “thazamboo” border motif.
