Balaramapuram - A place in Kerala that has put the state on the fashion map of India! In this episode of my "Solo In South" series, we explore the beautiful town of Balaramapuram. Located in the Thiruvananthapuram district of Kerala, India, it is a charming destination with a rich cultural heritage and breathtaking natural beauty. Balaramapuram is also the handloom hub of Kerala, a place where Kerala's famous saree called KASAVU are made. Kasavu saree, also known as Kerala saree or Settu Mundu, is a traditional attire worn by women in the Indian state of Kerala. It is a symbol of the state's rich cultural heritage and is highly regarded for its elegance, simplicity, and timeless appeal. The Kasavu saree is predominantly white or off-white in color with a golden border known as the Kasavu. The border can vary in width and design, ranging from simple and minimalistic to intricately woven patterns. The golden Kasavu border adds a touch of opulence and enhances the overall grace of the saree. The fabric of a Kasavu saree is typically cotton, which makes it comfortable and suitable for the tropical climate of Kerala. The soft and lightweight cotton material allows for easy draping and movement, making it a popular choice for daily wear, as well as special occasions such as weddings, festivals, and cultural events. Wearing a Kasavu saree not only showcases the beauty of Kerala's traditional attire but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of the state. It is a garment that embodies grace, elegance, and the timeless traditions of Kerala.
