Kathirkula- Traditional Paddy Sheaf Bundle

Bring the essence of Kerala's harvest heritage into your home with the Kathirkula — a hand-woven bunch of dried paddy sheaves (nelkathir), crafted by skilled artisans from the Palakkad region of Kerala.

Traditionally hung at the entrance of homes and temples, the Kathirkula is a sacred symbol of prosperity, abundance, and good harvest. It is used during Onam, housewarmings, Vishu, weddings, and temple rituals across Kerala — and is cherished equally by Hindu, Christian, and Muslim households.

• Handcrafted by hereditary artisans using sun-dried nelkathir (paddy grains) and natural hay
• Natural anti-fungal properties; absorbs moisture to protect walls from damp
• Sheaves can be untied in times of need — a living symbol of food abundance
• Ideal gift for housewarmings, festivals, and auspicious occasions
