Kodava Saree Draping Style: An Elegant Tradition

The Kodava saree draping style is a distinctive and elegant form of saree draping that is unique to the Kodava community. Unlike other regions where sarees are typically draped with pleats at the front, the Kodava saree is draped without pleats, with the pallu thrown over the shoulder and the fabric wrapped tightly around the waist. This style gives the wearer a regal and graceful look, and it is commonly worn by women during weddings, festivals, and other important occasions. Guests visiting The River Homestay can learn the art of Kodava saree draping from the women in the community, offering a hands-on experience of this beautiful tradition.
