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.
