Kadial silk sarees are a lesser-known but distinctive variety of traditional silk sarees, often celebrated for their heavy borders and rich weaving styles. These sarees are particularly popular in parts of South India, especially Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

The term "Kadial" refers to a weaving technique or structural style rather than a specific region. In Kadial sarees:
The body and border are woven separately and then joined using a technique known as "korvai" weaving.
This method creates a clear demarcation between the body and the border.
The borders are often contrasting, thicker, and heavily embellished with zari or motifs.
