Border: Contrasting Kathiripoo violet silk with Rettapet-style double-register gold-zari ornamental bands; a slender row of steeply pointed Pillayar Reku-inspired serrations introduces the broad lower border.

Pallu: Grand violet silk pallu with an ordered delicate gold-zari checked geometry and lustrous ornamental zari bands.

Styling: Balance the coloured checks with a plain Kathiripoo-violet blouse, or take one quietly repeated tone such as teal or cocoa brown. Small gold earrings and clean pleats let the many-coloured body read as one composed pattern, especially at cultural performances or festive dinners.
