The Kerala Cotton
Sari has evolved from the Mundum Neriyathum, the traditional attire of women in the South Indian state of Kerala. In fact
the Mundum Neriyathum can be said to have influenced the creation of the modern
Saree.
Once woven by hand alone, the Kerala cotton Handloom Sarees have slowly given
way to the manufacture of the Kerala Cotton Saree by power looms. Hand embroidered motifs have also
been replaced by designer prints of the motif.
The Kerala
Cotton Saree with golden, copper-coloured or Zari borders for a white or cream fabric,
also known as Kasavu Saree, is specially made to be worn during festivals and auspicious
occasions. 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 adorning the pallu, have
made the Kerala Cotton Handloom Saree popular as daily wear.
Historically,
the Mundum Neriyathum, or the
two piece cotton fabric worn since ancient times, is still a traditional costume.
The Neriyathu, draping the upper torso, from right hip to left shoulder over
the blouse, with the portion beyond the shoulder left hanging, has come from Buddhist
and Jain influences of ancient India, with the coloured borders of the garment
supposedly being borrowed from Greco-Roman culture.
In simple form it is daily wear, in the Kasavu
form it is grand and meant for festival wear
Modern day prints on the cotton fabric with
coloured borders and popular designs of peacock and temple adorning the pallu, have
also made the Kerala Cotton Handloom Saree popular as daily wear.
The Kerala Cotton Saree is woven from unbleached cotton or Kora cloth.
With a golden Jari border and motifs of animals,
birds, peacocks, flowers, fruits and leaves, it is highly popular. Adding style
to the handloom saree 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.
