Kerala Sari - Kasavu saree


Known as Kasavu sari or Setu Sari

The 'Kasavu' Sari of Kerala is a cultural handloom sari that is made of pure cotton, the color being creamy white or pure white, with detailed or simple gold border artwork done on its pallu. Kasavu saris are hand weaved. The border or Kasavu is made by dipping thread in real gold and then interwoven to create intricate borders or animal shapes or sometimes simple border.

Though Kerala Sari is worn by many as an everyday costume, it is during the festivals like Onam and Vishu, that one can see the typical Kerala dressing when most of the women wear Kasavu sarees and blouse matching the sari border color.
