Description

Bharatanatyam Kemp Mattals are traditional ear chains worn by dancers as part of the Bharatanatyam costume. They are attached to the earrings and hooked into the hair above the ear, helping support heavy temple jewelry. These mattals are decorated with red and green kemp stones and often designed with motifs like flowers, leaves, or traditional patterns.

Worn during performances, Kemp Mattals add balance and symmetry to the dancer’s appearance. They complement other pieces in the jewelry set and enhance facial expression by framing the face. Mattals are not only ornamental but also practical, keeping earrings stable throughout the performance.
