The Tradition That Never Goes Out of Style!

What is Setmundu?
Setmundu, also known as Mundu Neriyathu, is Kerala’s most iconic traditional attire for women. This elegant two-piece dress includes:
- Mundu: A cream-colored lower garment wrapped around the waist.
- Neriyathu: A matching upper cloth draped over the shoulder, usually worn with a blouse.
At PMC Textiles, our Setmundu collections are crafted with fine cotton and embellished with beautiful kasavu (gold borders)—ideal for festivals, weddings, and cultural ceremonies.
History and Cultural Significance
Setmundu dates back centuries and holds deep roots in Kerala’s cultural heritage. Once worn by aristocratic women and temple dancers, it symbolizes purity, tradition, and elegance. The gold-threaded kasavu was traditionally woven with real gold, making it a garment of prestige.

Setmundu is perfect for:
- Onam celebrations – Pair it with jasmine flowers and gold jewelry for a classic look.
