Nettipattam is an ornament used in Kerala and Tamil Nadu to decorate temple Elephants (aka: Caparison). Elephants wear it on their forehead. Nettipattam is made with Gold and Copper. It is an integral part of Kerala culture. Nettipattom is mostly made in Thrissur. It is made by stitching metals balls in special shapes into cotton and jute sacks. Mostly it is made in Copper. Brass is also used although rarely. Be it copper or brass, it is later painted with gold for the yellow shine. There is also a belief that prosperity comes when a precisely build Nettipattam is hung in the house. Caparisons are available in different sizes to suit your needs.
