Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the significance of Mattal earrings in Bharatanatyam performances?
A: Mattal earrings, like the 'Shanthi Tailors Antique Finish Mattal Earring', are essential ornaments in Bharatanatyam. They connect to the hair, supporting the weight of the head ornaments and ensuring they remain secure during rigorous movements such as adavus and Aramandi positions. The antique finish provides a traditional aesthetic suitable for Arangetram and professional performances.
Q: How should I care for my 'Shanthi Tailors Antique Finish Mattal Earring' to maintain its antique appearance?
A: To preserve the antique finish of your Mattal earring, avoid direct contact with perfumes, hairsprays, and sweat. After each performance, gently wipe the earring with a soft, dry cloth and store it in a jewelry box or pouch. This will prevent tarnishing and maintain its vintage charm for years of Kuchipudi and Bharatanatyam recitals.
Q: Are 'Shanthi Tailors Antique Finish Mattal Earrings' adjustable to fit different ear sizes and accommodate various head ornament styles?
A: While the base design remains consistent to maintain the traditional aesthetic, slight adjustments can often be made to the connecting chain or wire that attaches to the hair. Please consult with our tailors or mention your specific requirements (e.g., needing extra length for a specific Kondai or hairstyle) when placing your order, and we will do our best to accommodate your needs for a comfortable and secure fit during your Mohiniyattam or Kathakali performances.
Q: Can the 'Shanthi Tailors Antique Finish Mattal Earring' be used for other Indian classical dance forms besides Bharatanatyam?
A: Yes, while Mattal earrings are commonly associated with Bharatanatyam, the 'Shanthi Tailors Antique Finish Mattal Earring' can also be used for other Indian classical dance forms such as Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam, and even Odissi. The antique finish and traditional design make it a versatile accessory that complements various dance costumes and jewelry sets, adding a touch of authenticity to your performance, be it a Margam or a Thillana.
