Kerala sari
Kerala sari (Set-sari) () is a clothing of women in the Indian state of Kerala. Mundum Neriyathum. It is worn as a garment that closely resembles the "mundum neriyathum" though it is not considered a true mundum neriyathum by classic definition. Traditional mundum neriyathum consists of a two-piece cloth, while Kerala sari is worn in a way to resemble navi drape using two-piece mundum neiyathum. Otherwise, the Kerala sari closely resembles the mundum neriyathum and is often worn by Malayali women as a quasi mundum neriyathum. Surviving medieval Kerala mural paintings depict existence of three-styles  of clothing worn by women, these include one-piece mundum, single-piece sari with over-lapping pleats resembling nivi-drape worn today by Mohiniyattam dancers and two-piece mundam-neryathum attire which evolved into Kerala sari. Kuthampully Sari. In September 2011, the Kuthampully sari was given geographical indication status by the Indian government. The Kuthampully weavers belong to the Devanga caste who were brought from Karnataka to make garments for the Maharaja of Kochi. Cultural costume. Kerala sari is regarded as the cultural costume of women of the Malayali community. The grace and appeal of the golden borders contrasting with  the otherwise plain white mundum neryathum of Keralite women has come to symbolize Malayali women. The sari is a hot favorite during the time of Onam, not just in Kerala but in other parts of India as well. In popular culture. Both the traditional and modern styles of the mundum neryathum are depicted in the paintings of the Indian painter Raja Ravi Varma. The mundum neriyathum was modified in several paintings depicting shakuntala from the mahabharatha to a style of draping now popularly known as the 'nivi saree' or 'national drape'. In one of his paintings, the Indian subcontinent was  shown as a mother wearing a flowing nivi saree. Notes. https://www.keralasaree.com
