Kerala sari (Set-sari) is a clothing of women in the Indian state of Kerala. It is worn as a garment that closely resembles the ''mundum neriyathum'' though it is not considered a true mundum neriyathum by classic definition. This is because the Kerala sari consists of a single piece of cloth while a traditional mundum neriyathum consists of a two-piece cloth. Otherwise, the Kerala sari closely resembles the mundum neriyathum and is often worn by Malayali women as a quasi mundum neriyathum. Kerala sari is regarded as the cultural costume of women of the Malayali community.〔Boulanger 1997, Ghurye 1951〕 The grace and appeal of the golden borders contrasting with the otherwise plain white mundum neryathum of Keralite women has come to symbolize Malayali women. Both the traditional and modern styles of the mundum neryathum are depicted in the paintings of the Indian painter Raja Ravi Verma. The mundum neriyathum was modified in several paintings depicting shakuntala from the mahabharatha to a style of draping now popularly known as the 'nivi saree' or 'national drape'. In one of his paintings, the Indian subcontinent was shown as a mother wearing a flowing nivi saree.〔Miller & Banerjee 2004〕 ==See also== * Sari * Mundum Neriyathum * Mundu 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kerala sari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
