andal kondai / headdress

#Headdress comparison between srivilliputhur andal and kerala women. Here in this picture i had just compared srivilliputhur andal's headdress with the Victorian era #ravivarma prints and  portrait of #Travancore young queen Pooradam Thirunal Sethu Lakshmi Bayi. In this pictures we could see a lady adorning her hair with Jasmine Garland and portrait of Travancore queen Sethu Lakshmi Bayi would looks similar as like as  anadal's headdress which is locally called as andalkondai uniquely wearied to the andal's processional deity at srivilliputhur temple during the procession. In early days womens of kerala use to dressed there hair in this way which is quite common amoung the upper community womens. From this we could witness the usage of headdress from deity to the common public is quite commonly done.
