This document discusses the traditional Koorai Nadu saree from the Tamil Nadu region of India. The Koorai Nadu saree originated in the Mayiladuthurai area of Tamil Nadu and was traditionally worn by brides during wedding ceremonies. It is woven from a blend of silk and cotton with distinctive checked patterns. However, demand for the saree has declined in recent decades as weaving traditions have died out. Some efforts are now being made to revive production of the traditional Koorai Nadu saree through organizations like Co-Optex to preserve this cultural craft.
