The Kerala Cotton Saree adapted from Mundum Neriyathum, the
traditional attire of Malayali women in the South Indian state of Kerala, has
been modified suitably, to also appeal to the changing times.
Considered as one of the oldest
forms of the modern day saree, Mundu (the lower garment) and Neriyathu (the
upper garment) together form the Mundum Neriyathum. The Mundum Neriyathum
consists of the lower part of the body covered by the Mundu, lower garment also
worn by traditional men in Kerala and the Neriyathu, draping the upper torso,
from right hip to left shoulder over the blouse, with the portion beyond the
shoulder left hanging.
Borrowing from this traditional costume, the Kerala Cotton
Saree of white or cream with golden or broad Zari border, which gives it the
name of Kerala Kasavu Sari, is worn specially for festivals. As with Mundum
Neriyathum, the blouse matches the Kerala Cotton Saree for festive occasions
with colours based on the age and marital status of the woman. A green
coloured blouse would be for young, unmarried girls, while the married and
middle aged women wear red blouses. Modern day prints on the cotton fabric with
coloured borders and popular designs of peacock and temple adorn the pallu,
making the Handloom
Kerala Cotton Sarees popular
as daily wear.
The
Kerala Cotton Saree woven from unbleached cotton or Kora cloth and with golden
Jari border with motifs of animals, birds, peacocks, flowers, fruits and leaves
is highly popular. Adding style also to the handloom cotton sarees are motifs of checks and stripe
patterns on wooden block prints using vegetable dyes.
A popular variety of the Kerala
Cotton Saree has Zari Buttas and a Resham Zari Border, coupled with an elegant
pallu, preferred as occasion wear in corporate offices, colleges and schools.
It also appeals as novel wear during festivals.
Equally enticing is the Kerala
Cotton Sari with block printed motifs and multi-thread embroidered border in
half-half pattern with contrasting colours. It makes it suitable for daily
casual, office wear during summer and traditional functions.
