worked by her.When ever I wear one of my Kasuthi sarees ,there is a stream of
compliments.

Hi...
I will give a short note about Kerala Sarees.

Kerala Sarees are symbolic of Kerala culture and tradition. The elegant Kerala Saree, off white with gold border is unique for their natural color, texture and golden border. These sarees lend an extraordinary elegance to the person wearing it. Every Malayali woman possesses at least one Kerala sari in her wardrobe.

Traditionally women in Kerala also wear a two piece cloth named 'settu mundu', also known as 'mundum neriyathum' with natural body color and breathtaking border shades, which when worn, exactly look like a saree.

I am attaching photos of Kerala Sarees.


Regards
Asha
