Our Heritage
The story of Kuthampully.
Tucked along the Gayatripuzha river in the Thrissur district of Kerala, the village of Kuthampully has been weaving handloom sarees for more than 500 years. The craft was brought here in the late 1500s by the Devanga Chettiars — a community of master weavers invited from Karnataka by the Kochi royal family.
Generation after generation, they perfected the unmistakable Kuthampully drape — an off-white or cream cotton body bordered by pure gold kasavu zari, the metallic thread that gives Kerala sarees their soft, sunlit glow.
In 2010, the Kuthampully saree was granted a Geographical Indication (GI) tag, recognising it as a unique cultural product of Kerala. Today, about 600 weaver families continue to work on pit looms, each saree taking days of patient hand-weaving to complete.
