short description
The traditional attire of the Kota people is a representation of simplicity and cultural identity. Traditional men's attire includes an upper garment called ‘Varadu’, and a lower garment called ‘Mundu’. The Mundu can be paired with a dupatti for women. Traditionally they do not wear coloured garments and use white or earthy garments instead. A unique cultural behaviour marks the point of transition for a young woman of the Kota people. At approximately 18–19 years old, she begins tying her hair with a Mandoo leaf. This cultural practice marks the transition point into adulthood and is celebrated with the whole community and continued for the remainder of her life.
