A mundu is a traditional garment worn primarily in the southern Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. It is a long piece of cloth, usually white or cream in color, wrapped around the waist and extending down to the ankles—similar in appearance to a dhoti or sarong. Worn by both men and women, the mundu is a symbol of simplicity, elegance, and cultural pride.
Traditionally made from fine cotton with gold or colored borders (known as “kasavu”), the mundu is often worn during religious ceremonies, weddings, festivals, and even daily life in Kerala. Its breathable fabric and graceful drape make it perfect for India’s warm climate, while its timeless aesthetic keeps it rooted in heritage.
