Dwaraka Style Bharatanatyam Costume – Split Pallu Fan Design
Crafted by Shanthi Tailors, Mylapore – Since 1967
The Dwaraka style has a split-pallu fan layout. It makes a wide, strong fan on stage. This design does not use one full pallu. Instead, it uses:
-
Left & Right Sections: Pallu parts show the bold zari border.
-
Center Section: It uses matching saree material. It has a clean center border.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the key features of the Dwaraka Style Bharatnatyam costume from Shanthi Tailors, and how does it differ from other Bharatnatyam costume styles?
A: The Dwaraka style, unique to Shanthi Tailors, features a distinctive fan arrangement and pleat design that allows for greater flexibility and visual dynamism during complex footwork (Aramandi). Unlike some styles with simpler fan arrangements, the Dwaraka style is designed to accentuate the dancer's movements and maintain its shape even during demanding Arangetram performances.
Q: What fabrics are used in the Shanthi Tailors Dwaraka Style Bharatnatyam costume, and how should I care for them to ensure longevity?
A: Our Dwaraka Style costumes are crafted using a blend of high-quality art silk and cotton, chosen for their durability, color retention, and comfort. To maintain the costume's vibrancy, we recommend dry cleaning only. Avoid direct sunlight exposure during storage to prevent color fading. Iron on low heat, inside out, to avoid damaging the fabric.
Q: Can the Dwaraka Style Bharatnatyam costume be customized in terms of color, size, and embellishments to match specific dance school requirements or personal preferences?
A: Yes, Shanthi Tailors offers extensive customization options for the Dwaraka Style costume. We can accommodate specific color palettes, precise measurements for a tailored fit, and embellishment requests, including stone work and embroidery, to align with your dance school's requirements or individual artistic vision. Please provide detailed specifications when placing your order.
Q: What accessories are typically paired with the Dwaraka Style Bharatnatyam costume, and does Shanthi Tailors provide these as a complete set?
A: The Dwaraka Style costume is traditionally paired with essential Bharatnatyam jewelry, including the head set (Thalai Saman), neck pieces (Addigai, Kasu Malai), waist belt (Oddiyanam), bangles, and anklets (Salangai). Shanthi Tailors can provide a complete, coordinated set of these accessories designed to complement the Dwaraka Style costume, ensuring a cohesive and authentic presentation.
