Dwaraka Style Bharatanatyam Costume – Split Pallu Fan Design
Crafted by Shanthi Tailors, Mylapore – Since 1967
The Dwaraka style features a split-pallu fan layout designed to create a wide, structured, and visually strong fan on stage. Instead of using a single full pallu, this model uses:
-
Left & Right Sections: Pallu portions for bold zari border visibility
-
Center Section: Matching saree material with a clean center border
This three-part fan construction gives the costume a balanced and symmetrical fan spread, especially noticeable during aramandi, jathis, adavus, and nritta-heavy movement.
Why Dancers Choose the Dwaraka Style
• Strong fan geometry on stage
• Borders stay aligned and visible from audience view
• Less bulk than full-pallu fans
• Smooth fan opening during jumps and full-sitting
• Ideal for dancers who want sharp lines + comfort
