You are from my neighbouring state...yet you don't knw Kerala sari and dhoti....(those offwhite sarees with silk border).
Not only Sarees, but set mund also.....
Set Mund is preferred traditional than set sari...
In Nair marriages, ladies use set mund, not set sari.
I also like it very much
Do you people know set mund?

Sandhya

Schools celebrate more than offices, they have programmes and cultural dress competition

@ Robert, Set saris are the iconic kerala white saree with gold border. It is actually supposed to be a 2 piece saree showing the gold border

That gold border thing is called as kasav or kesav border.... i guess sandhya will let you know

@Robert...
She just copied......nothing to appreciate..haha
Swetha are you hearing?
Robert, you can wish her today as she is a Keralite

YEAH I am listening...... the thing is, we cannot alter the constitution, thats why only option is to copy!!!

In law exams, you cannot alter anything , otherwise you will not be awarded marks. If lawyers dont speak exactly what they are supposed to address , they will be penalised. Law is law yar, how can you expect me to write on my own?

Yes, I have mentioned in my post... set mund consists of 2 pieces..... 1 piece girls wear it as dhoti. Then use the second piece as shawl. (similar to half sari of Tamil Nadu). Kasavu should come in front.

Swetha, do you have set mund or set sari.....? (mund means dhoti)
Also want to know if any celebrations in your state?

Today it will be a traditional fashion show in every school, office and colleges of Kerala :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
