Pallu’s Multiutility and a Dying Tradition
Pallu – the long end of the saree,
A tradition enticing the Indian women since ages.
Mostly hanging end behind the woman – the pallu,
Some places in India, across the front of the body – the pallu.
A means to carry the alms – the pallu,
A place to hang the keys – the pallu.
The elegant look of the bride – the pallu,
Covering newly-weds’ head – the pallu.
A child’s anchor – the pallu,
A toddler’s hiding place – the pallu.
Read MoreThe puppy’s playmate – the pallu,
For the homemaker, palm to utensils, the drying aid – the pallu
The designer’s beauty enthralled in – the pallu,
The showstopper’s delight – the pallu.
The heroine’s enchantment – the wet pallu,
The lyricist’s love – the pallu.
Under the scorching sun, the temporary shade – the pallu,
In chilling winter days, the warm cover – the pallu.
A multiutility piece of cloth – the pallu,
Mother’s hidden love and affection in – the pallu.
In future, will be seen only in temples on deities – the pallu,
Thanks to westernization, the tradition dying – the saree and its pallu!
