Weavers used bones for needles to weave a piece of cloth in the past which was considered to be quite an auspicious process. Hence this piece of unstitched clothing is still regarded as propitious which explains why it is still widely worn at sacred ceremonies.

The borders on either side have detailed designs to mark the difference with an end piece that is better known as the ‘pallu’ that may be plain or heavily ornamented to draw attention. It is worn with an underskirt and a cropped blouse or ‘choli’ as it is popularly called.
