In a country full of myriad patterns and bold colours, Keralaโs traditional saree stands out for its elegance and visual restraint.
Traditional Kerala sarees, also known as Kasavu sarees, these white and gold sarees hold significant cultural and historical importance, making them a timeless piece of Kerala's heritage. Kerala sarees are typically made of cotton and are distinguished by their simple yet elegant white and gold colour combination.
The term kasavu actually refers to the zari used in the border of the Kerala sari and not the sari itself. It is the name of a material used in the manufacturing process. Thus, when kasavu becomes a part of the mundu (dhoti), itโs called a kasavu mundu.
