move?

From what I can tell of the text, this is not a proper noun and should be at Mundum neryathum. - Banyan Tree 13:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of disagreement, I've moved the page. - Banyan Tree 21:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

picture

The accompanying picture to the article on Mundum Neriyathum appears to show a woman wearing a saree. It fails to demonstrate the basic premise that the Mundum Neriyathum is actually two separate items of clothing and thus misses the entire point. I suggest that a better photograph needs to demonstrate this article of clothing. The picture is of a kerala sari that is NOT mundum neryathum. I have pictures of mundu and naryatu or Randaam mundu (2nd mundu). i do not know how to upload. Anyone helping me, I can create a good aticle with relevant pictures. Any help?

Image is mundum neriyathu

The person who uploaded this image Kjrajesh has stated in a previous discussion that the image is that of mundum neriyathu see the talk page of South India Robin klein 15:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On Mundum Neriyathum: Yet again

In my earlier communication (see above) I accepted the claim made by the user Kjrajesh that the dress worn by the lady in the photograph was a mundum neriyathum and not a sari. Now I don't think so.

Reason: Mundum Neriyathum is a two-piece dress. The one the lady wears in the photograph is obviously a single-piece dress.

Even though the user claims (see south india talk page) that it is what is called set mundu, I don't think so. It is in all possibility a set-sari, which is nothing but a sari (in one piece) but with shiny kasavu border. It should not be confused with set mundu or mundum neriyathum, which should come in two pieces (1. Mundu & 2. Neriyathu).

When set mundu is worn, the kasavu border will be clearly visible on left side (the left thigh) of the person who wears it. (See this link: http://www.keralafashion.com/set.htm to know how a set mundu looks like). It is not so in the photograph.

Hence the user Alniko and myself are correct. Thus the description in the photograph is changed. MANOJTV 09:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

set-sari/mundum neriyathum

The original uploader of the picture Kjrajesh has consistently said that the picture is that of mundum neriyathum.

You can see in the picture, the pallu of the garment conceals the thigh. Hence one cannot assume that the person is not wearing mundum neriyathum or claim that their own conclusions are true and correct and that the uploader is incorrect. Robin klein 10:33, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have already reverted both kerala N mundum neriyathum articles to its previous version .It is not possible to decide just by looking at this photograph. So the only option is to accept the version of the editor who uploaded this photo.Bharatveer 10:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A note about the similarity and distinction about the set-saree to mundum neriyathum has been added. It is essential to mention about the setu-saree because the set saree is popularly worn as a form or version of mundum neriyathum even though by strict definition it is not a mundum neriyathum. This is because the set-saree consists of a single piece cloth while the mundum neriyathum consists of two piece cloth. Robin klein 05:17, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello all,

As an original uploader of this picture, I did not say that the lady is wearing mundum neriyathum, as you can see on 6th Feb 2006 I uploaded this picture in the article Kerala and I said "Traditional dress of Kerala (Saree)". The lady is actually wearing a saree not a mundum neriyathum. On 27th June 2006 User DeepuJoseph edited from Sari to mundum neriyathum Kjrajesh

Top picture

Isn't the top picture just a mundu (but worn really high, obviously)? The mundum neriyathum (as worn by women) looks more like a sari. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.216.103.58 (talk) 17:47, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

Older women's clothing

What is the traditional older women's clothing called? My mother once told me but I can't remember. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.52.215.67 (talk) 12:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
