The intricate arrangement of ruby-red kemp stones, meticulously set within the graceful lotus petals of each tiered segment, immediately caught our eye, reflecting the precise artistry Shanthi Tailors has championed...
The Dancer's Adornment & Connoisseur's Treasure
These Lotus Mattals are designed with a dual purpose, fulfilling the rigorous demands of classical dance while standing as pieces of art in their own right.
- For the Bharatanatyam Dancer: The lightweight yet secure design, featuring a robust black thread attachment, ensures comfort and stability through every intricate mudra and powerful jathi. The vibrant ruby and emerald kemp stones, alongside the delicate pearl clusters, provide exceptional stage presence, catching the light and drawing attention to the dancer's exquisite facial expressions, particularly during an Arangetram or significant performance.
- For the Jewellery Connoisseur: Appreciate the classic temple jewellery craftsmanship, where each lotus motif is a miniature work of art. The authentic silver base, adorned with traditional gold leafing, ensures these Mattals are not merely adornments but heirlooms, perfect for weddings, cultural events, or as a cherished addition to a serious collection of original temple jewellery.
💡 Curatorial Insight for Optimal Presentation
When pairing these Lotus Mattals, consider the overall harmony of your Bharatanatyam jewellery set. The rich ruby and emerald tones of the premium kemp stones complement traditional Kanchipuram silk sarees beautifully. For an Arangetram, we often recommend pairing them with a matching temple necklace and earrings to create a cohesive and impactful classical dance ensemble that truly embodies the spirit of the performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I properly attach these Mattals for a Bharatanatyam performance?
A: Our Mattals come with a sturdy black thread and a small hook. The hook typically attaches to the back of your earring post, while the thread can be carefully braided into your hair or secured with hairpins along the side of your head. For Arangetram costumes, we recommend ensuring the thread is tightly integrated into a neat braid or bun for maximum security and a polished look.
Q: Are the stones in this temple jewellery authentic?
A: Yes, these Lotus Mattals feature premium Kemp (Spinels) stones in traditional ruby, emerald, and white hues, along with real freshwater pearls. Shanthi Tailors has always prioritized authentic materials in our original temple jewellery collection, a practice upheld since 1967.
Q: What is the best way to care for my Silver with Gold Leaf temple jewellery?
A: To preserve the gold leaf and brilliance of the kemp stones, store your Mattals in an airtight pouch or box, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions. Clean gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Never use abrasive cleaners or immerse in water, as this can damage the gold leafing.
Q: Is this Mattal suitable for an Arangetram?
A: Absolutely. This Lotus Mattal is crafted in the traditional style with authentic materials, making it perfectly suitable for an Arangetram. Its classic design and vibrant kemp stones ensure a stunning and traditional look that will shine under stage lights, meeting the expectations for a classical Bharatanatyam debut.
