Poothali Necklace | Temple Jewellery

A: Yes, the Poothali Necklace is designed to be comfortable and secure during Bharatanatyam performances. Its construction ensures it stays in place even during deep Aramandi and complex footwork, complementing the dancer's movements without causing distraction.

A: For an Arangetram, the Poothali Necklace should typically sit gracefully on the neckline without impeding movement. We recommend a length that allows the pendant to rest comfortably above the chest, ensuring it is visible and enhances the overall costume without hindering the dancer's expressions or Adavus.

A: To maintain the brilliance of your Poothali Necklace, especially with regular use in Kuchipudi, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth after each performance to remove sweat and oils. Store it in a separate, soft pouch away from other jewelry to prevent scratches. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures, which can damage the plating and stones. Regular gentle cleaning will preserve its beauty for years to come.

A: Yes, at Shanthi Tailors, we offer customization options for the Poothali Necklace. You can request specific deity pendants, such as Krishna for a Krishna Leela themed performance, or adjust the stone settings to match your costume's color palette. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements and ensure the final piece perfectly complements your dance repertoire.
