Introduction
Onam, the grand harvest festival of Kerala, is a time of joy, tradition, and elegance. One of the most iconic elements of Onam celebrations is the Onam Saree, also known as the Kasavu Saree. Characterized by its white or cream base with golden borders, the Onam saree symbolizes purity, culture, and timeless beauty. At Weaveify, we celebrate tradition by offering handloom sarees that carry the same elegance and grace of Onam.
What is an Onam Saree?
The Onam Saree (or Kasavu Saree) is usually made from cotton or silk, featuring a plain white or off-white body with a golden zari border. Traditionally worn during Onam and Vishu festivals, it represents Kerala’s rich cultural heritage.
According to Wikipedia, the Kasavu saree is deeply connected with Kerala’s identity and is an integral part of festive wear for women.
