A wall hanging Nettipattam is a decorative version of the traditional elephant caparison (Nettipattam) used in Kerala, India, especially during temple festivals like Thrissur Pooram.
The real Nettipattam is a glittering ornament made of gold-plated copper that decorates the forehead of elephants in processions. For homes and interiors, miniature versions are crafted as wall hangings — they’re symbolic, artistic, and carry cultural significance.
