Koothampully

Location

Koothampully village located on the banks of Bharathappuzha, on the border between the districts of Thrissur and Palakkad, is well known for its handloom, woven weavers’ community of this village. The off-white Kerala saris and dhotis with borders woven in colour or gold or both are well known. These weavers are originally from Mysore, brought here by the erstwhile Maharaja of Travancore in the 16th century, to cater to his personal wardrobe.
