Traditional Kodava Attire: A Proud Heritage Worn with Elegance

Traditional Kodava attire is an expression of the community’s rich cultural identity and deep connection with history. For women, the Kodava saree draping style is unique, with the saree wrapped around the body without pleats, creating an elegant, flowing appearance. The attire is completed with intricate jewelry, including traditional Kodava jewelry, which features bold designs, including necklaces, earrings, and armbands, often made from gold or silver. The Kodava men’s attire typically includes a traditional coat, headgear, and belt that represent their warrior heritage.

The homestay offers a genuine experience of traditional Kodava dress and may even offer a chance to try it on during cultural celebrations or festivals.
