Government-certified original Karungali, hand-strung for lasting wear.

A sculpted standing figure sits proud of the chest, so this malai wears more comfortably over a tee than beneath a fitted shirt. When you take it off, lay it down with the figure face-up so the raised detail is not resting against a hard surface overnight.
