Touch Test Kanchipuram/Kanjivaram silk sarees have a smooth glossy finish, so when rubbing your hands on the saree it should feel soft and a difference in the temperature of your palm. If you feel a rough texture or patch and no variance in temperature then it is not authentic.

The Kanchipuram silk sari is a type of silk sari made in the Kanchipuram region in Tamil Nadu, India.

The market value of Kanchipuram sarees is influenced by various factors. Firstly, the uniqueness and exclusivity of these sarees contribute to their high value. The intricate zari work, the labor-intensive process, and the use of premium materials like pure silk and gold threads all drive up the price.

Both refer to the same type of saree. "Kanjivaram" is a common mispronunciation of "Kanchipuram," which is the correct name. So, there is no actual difference between the two; they both denote the luxurious silk sarees handwoven in Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu.
