Kuthampully village in the Thrissur district of Kerala is well known for its handloom weaving of Kerala’s traditional attire. The origin of the Kuthampully Dhoties and Set Mundu goes back to the end of the 18th century. They are woven with fine cotton and pure zari. However, due to the high price of pure zari, imitation zari is frequently used instead. The base fabric is generally off-white or non-bleached.
