Kalakshetra Style Bharatanatyam Costume – Double-Layer Fan with Pallu Tassel Finish
Hand-tailored by Shanthi Tailors, Mylapore – Since 1967
The Kalakshetra style costume is special. It has clean classical lines. It also has elegant stage geometry. This design has a two-layer fan construction.
Here's what the fan is made of:
- Top Fan Layer: Made from the saree pallu. It has traditional tassels. This adds depth and movement.
- Bottom Fan Layer: Made from the main saree. This gives structure and support.
The fan looks full and spread out. It keeps its shape during dance moves. This includes aramandi, jumps, and jathi sequences. It has the unmistakable Kalakshetra aesthetic.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key design elements of the Kalashetra style pant costume from Shanthi Tailors, and how do they support the Aramandi posture in Bharatnatyam?
A: Our Kalashetra style pant costume is specifically tailored with a comfortable yet secure fit to facilitate the Aramandi. The pleating and fabric selection allow for a full range of motion while maintaining the traditional aesthetic. The strategically placed embellishments enhance the dancer's lines and movements.
Q: What fabric options are available for the Kalashetra pant costume, and which would you recommend for a dancer performing in their Arangetram?
A: We offer fabric options including art silk, cotton blends, and pure silk. For an Arangetram, we recommend pure silk or a high-quality art silk. These fabrics offer a rich look, drape beautifully, and are durable enough to withstand the demands of a full performance. We can also advise on colorfastness and maintenance.
Q: How does Shanthi Tailors ensure the durability and longevity of the Kalashetra style pant costume, especially considering the rigorous movements in Bharatnatyam?
A: We use reinforced stitching techniques and high-quality materials to ensure the costume's durability. Stress points are reinforced, and we provide detailed care instructions to help maintain the costume's integrity over time. Our costumes are designed to withstand repeated use and cleaning, crucial for frequent performers.
Q: Can the Kalashetra style pant costume be customized with specific embellishments or color combinations to align with a particular Bharatnatyam repertoire or school tradition?
A: Yes, we offer full customization options. You can select the color, embellishments (such as zari work, sequins, or embroidery), and the placement of these elements. We work closely with dancers and gurus to ensure the costume aligns perfectly with the repertoire, school style, and individual preferences, adhering to the nuances of different Bharatnatyam traditions.
