The statues embody the essence of Keralite identity. The man is clad in a crisp, striped shirt, paired with the mundu, a traditional lower garment. The mundu, often white with a decorative border, is a symbol of simplicity and elegance. The woman is draped in a stunning Kasavu saree, the quintessential Kerala saree. The Kasavu, characterized by its off-white or cream color and woven with gold or zari borders, is an emblem of prosperity and auspiciousness, often worn during festivals and weddings. The attire is more than just clothing; it's a visual representation of the cultural values of Kerala – simplicity, grace, and a deep connection to the land.
