Attire of Mangalorean Catholics
Attire of Mangalorean Catholics refers to the traditional clothing of the Mangalorean Catholics from the Mangalore Diocese (erstwile South Canara district) on the southwestern coast of India.
==Costumes==
Mangalorean Catholic men used to wear long loose frilled white or black coats known as ''kutav'' (similar to the Maratha loose coats) with buttons, over a loose shirt (''zibbo''), while the dhoti (''pudvem''), a piece of unstitched cloth, usually around 7 yards long, that was wrapped around the waist and the legs, and knotted at the waist. The turbans were usually flattened like the Coorgi turbans (''Mundaas'' or ''Urmal'').〔 The ''Mundaas'' or ''Urmal'' or is a long white piece of cloth with a golden hem (''todop'') and is tied around the head like a turban in a peculiar manner by which they could easily be recognized as Catholics.〔 In modern times, this mode has changed. Only a few old people can be seen wearing this traditional dress on church going occasions.
Before marriage, women used to wear a ''Kirgi'' (sari) and ''Baju'' (blouse). The ''kirgi'' is a piece of cloth, not longer than four feet and about three feet broad. It was wrapped around the body from the waist down. A jacket called ''baju'' with long sleeves was used to cover the upper part of the body. This dress was a sign of her virginity and wore it during the ''Ros'' ceremony. The ''kirgi'' was wrapped around the waist, but the end of the sari is not thrown over the shoulder.〔 To wear the sari with its end thrown over the shouider, known as ''worl'', is the exclusive right of a married woman. Married women used to wear sarees the general way. The Salwar kameez is another form of popular dress for females.
The Mangalorean Catholic bride's wedding sari is known as an ''Sado''. It is usually a red coloured Banarasi sari, which are made of finely woven silk and are decorated with elaborate engravings. In olden days, the bride wore on her head a red cloth, three feet long and as many broad. After the wedding was over, the ''Sado'' was well preserved and worn only on high feast-days or for weddings. Sometimes a particularly precious sado was handed down from mother to daughter and considered a valuable heirloom. The cost of a sado was reckoned in ''varahas''. Saris are known for their variety by special names, such as ''Katari'', ''Shilari'', ''Gulabi'', etc.〔 Both the ''Sado'' and ''Dharma sado'' were costly saris, while the ''Sado'' was the most expensive, the ''Dharma Sado'' was the second most expensive.〔 Some Mangalorean Catholic brides also wear a white sari during the Nuptial Blessing in Church. The bridegroom's dress in the early times consisted of a short loincloth of hand-woven cloth (''Dhoti''), a shawl to cover his shoulders and a red handkerchief on the head (''leis''). The groom's dress was gradually improved. Later, his dress consisted of a white loincloth with a red and gold hem (''todop''), a shirt with gold buttons and a coat (''kutav''), a shawl on the shoulders and a towel (''Urmal'') on the head.〔〔 The bridegroom wore a ''chakrasar'' (neck chain) around his neck. He wore a pair of sandals or at least a pair of socks. In modern times however, some westernized Mangalorean Catholic couples have a White wedding, where the bridegroom wears a suit, while the bride wears a white gown.
