RASATHI (Kandangi)- Traditional Rural Tamil Nadu Handmade Fabric Doll

Rasathi is adorned in the practical kandangi kattu style of draping a saree, commonly worn by women in rural Tamil Nadu. This method allows the lower part of the saree to fall just above the ankle, preventing it from getting soiled while walking. The saree is neatly draped with pleats at the back, securely tucked away to keep the hands free for household chores and farm work.

A unique feature of this drape is a 'pouch' in the front, cleverly integrated into the saree, which acts like a pocket for carrying small essentials.  Her hair is tied up in a bun adorned with jasmine flowers around it. Simple gold jewellery with a mark of Kumkum and  Rasathi’s attire exemplifies the blend of functionality and tradition, reflecting the resourcefulness of rural Tamil Nadu women.

Wash Care instructions: To maintain their quality, follow these washing guidelines:
•    Surface clean carefully with a damp cloth to remove dust or dirt.
•    Air dry in a well-ventilated area.
•    Do not machine wash or soak in water.

By following these instructions, the dolls will remain in excellent condition for years to come!

Note: We strive to maintain the authenticity and charm of each handmade fabric doll while embracing the uniqueness of handcrafted artistry. Subtle differences in colours, patterns, and accessories are part of the doll’s one-of-a-kind appeal.
