The first silk weavers' co-operative in Kanchipuram, formed in 1949 with 79 weavers and now one of the largest, with around 2,000 members. Also spelt Kamakshi Amman. It sells members' sarees through its own sales outlet and through Co-optex. Buyers get Silk Mark-labelled, co-operative-woven Kanjivarams at fixed prices, sometimes with discounts on older stock.
