Coorg Traditional Attire: Celebrating Identity Through Clothing
The traditional attire of the people of Coorg is another important aspect of their culture. For men, the ‘kupya’ (a short sword) is a significant part of their attire, reflecting their warrior heritage. Women wear ‘neddi’, a traditional dress that symbolizes grace and elegance. Both men and women adorn themselves with intricate Kodava jewelry, adding to their ceremonial outfits. These clothes are often worn during weddings, festivals, and cultural events, symbolizing the Kodava people’s pride in their heritage. Visitors to The River Homestay can get a closer look at this attire and might even be offered the opportunity to try it during special celebrations.
