| Pls help. I have never own a Kerala mundu set so I bought a beautiful one with a very nice zari border. I was thrilled when it came. But my hubby said how I can wear a white sari cause only widows wear one. But I said it Kerala mundu!!!! As we are not from Kerala but from north can someone here help me and tell me is it ok. I searched the web I found out that all the Kerala sets are actually white! So does this mean that all the ladies wear them regardless their status? Sorry for me being so ignorant Thnx a lot.

| Dear K, In India, there are diverse cultures and traditions. In olden days, all these were typical. Older women in the North wear pastel dresses as the age, but in South it is deep and dark colours of oldies. And Kerala is a State with very few sentiments and such things. Women remarry if they feel like it, it is not an odd thing there. And the Kerala saree is off white mostly and it is a simple dress and even now women wear it to weddings too. No need for heavily borcaded sarees there. As Vidya said, giving a mundu set to a girl is considered more important in marriages. Go ahead and wear a set and enjoy the compliments. |

| Hi, I second Vidya. During marriage, after the thali kettu, the groom gifts the bride a mundu set on a platter. This signifies that he will now assume the responsibility of providing for her. On festive occasions the settum mundum is worn by all women. (married/unmarried) So please go ahead and wear your mundu set and feel proud of it! Mythili
