]]> The muhurtham of Tamil weddings in the earlier days, saw brides resplendent in colorful chequered sarees from Koorainadu. Adorned with bangles, bindis, and gajras, the Tamil women in these Koorainadu sarees emitted a golden light of love, hope and happiness which marked the auspicious beginning of their married life. These special sarees are also known as Koorai Pattu Pudavai. Here the Koorai represents the place where these sarees are produced i.e. Koorainadu, Mayiladuthurai. The word Pattu means Silk whereas a saree is called Pudavai in Tamil. Thus Koorai Pattu Pudavai means a silk saree from the Koorainadu region. They are still worn by Tamil women during their wedding ceremonies and has immense religious and historic significance in South India. They are one of a kind as only experienced weavers can weave them and thus can make the bride feel special.
