White Gold Kerala Cotton Saree

Hailing from the lush and culturally rich state of Kerala, this textile is traditionally used in garments like the Kasavu saree, mundu, and settu-mundu, and has been a proud part of the Malayali identity for centuries. Originally worn by royalty and temple dancers, today it remains a symbol of purity, pride, and celebration—especially during Onam, Vishu, and weddings.

✨ What Makes It “White Gold”

• White: Represents simplicity, spirituality, and serenity, aligned with Kerala’s deeply rooted values in nature and tradition.

• Gold Zari: Symbolizes auspiciousness and grandeur, handwoven into the borders and pallus with real or imitation gold threads.

• Together, the minimalistic yet majestic contrast of white and gold earns this fabric the title “White Gold”—a prized possession in any wardrobe.
