Kemp Glistening Pearl Drop Mattal – Bharatanatyam Temple Jewellery bbm034

The Kemp Glistening Pearl Drop Mattal from Golden Collections beautifully extends from the ear, drawing attention to the dancer's expressive eyes and the intricate lines of her neck. It plays a crucial role in anchoring the entire costume, ensuring a harmonious flow from the ear to the hair, and adding a brilliant, temple-lamp-like glow that enhances the Aharya Abhinaya.

Design • Function • Tradition

This mattal is a traditional ear extension in Bharatanatyam and Kuchipudi, serving to visually lengthen the earlobes and connect the ear ornaments to the hair. Known as 'Mattal' in Tamil, these pieces are integral to the complete Bharatanatyam Alankaram, especially during significant performances like an Arangetram or a Varnam sequence, where every detail contributes to the narrative and aesthetic.

Our Heritage Store & Design Atelier in Secunderabad handles design, quality, finishing, and curation, while the actual crafting is executed by select master artisans under our strict guidance.
