Kalakshetra Style Bharatanatyam Costume – Double-Layer Fan with Pallu Tassel Finish
Hand-tailored by Shanthi Tailors, Mylapore – Since 1967
The Kalakshetra style costume is known for its clean classical lines and elegant stage geometry.
This design features a two-layer fan construction:
• Top Fan Layer: Made from the saree pallu with traditional tassels, adding depth and movement
• Bottom Fan Layer: Made from the main saree body material for structure and support
The result is a fuller, more pronounced fan spread that maintains shape through aramandi, jumps, and jathi sequences, while carrying the unmistakable Kalakshetra aesthetic.
What This Pattern Highlights on Stage
• A grand, traditional silhouette suitable for classical repertoire
• Graceful movement of the tassels during spins and adavus
• Clear fan opening without collapse or folding
• Refined temple dance character in still positions and sculpturesque poses
Material Options
• Pure Kanchipuram Silk – Rich, heritage stage look
• Dharamavaram Silk – Softer, temple-textured finish
• Semi-Silk – Lightweight, practical for touring & group shows
Ideal For
• Traditional Margam
• Arangetram Central Items
• Repertoire with strong nritya & abhinaya balance
• Kalakshetra-style dance schools and choreographies
