The vivid marigold yellow of this Krishnar Top, coupled with the intricate circular gold brocade motifs woven across its entire surface, ensures a captivating presence on any stage. This particular shade, a hallmark of youthful exuberance, is perfectly framed by the striking violet zari border that outlines the elegant Angrakha-style neckline and the short cap sleeves. Designed specifically for a 12-year-old performer, this top is a quintessential piece for embodying the playful and divine spirit of Lord Krishna in classical Indian dance forms like Bharatanatyam. The charming blue and gold tassels add a touch of authentic flair, reflecting Shanthi Tailors' deep understanding of traditional costume design since 1967.
At Shanthi Tailors, we understand the demands of a Bharatanatyam costume. This Krishnar top isn't just visually stunning; it's engineered for unrestricted movement. The lightweight yet structured brocade fabric drapes beautifully without hindering complex mudras or swift footwork. The meticulously applied violet zari borders are not merely decorative; they provide a subtle weight that helps the garment maintain its form throughout an entire program, from the Alarippu to the Thillana. We've dressed over 10,000 dancers since 1967, and this design reflects decades of feedback on what truly works for young artists.
This Krishnar top is specifically sized for a 12-year-old, offering a comfortable fit that allows for growth while maintaining a tailored appearance. The functional yet decorative blue and gold tassels secure the Angrakha front, adding an interactive element that can be adjusted for a perfect fit. The cap sleeves are designed to highlight arm movements without distraction, a key consideration for classical dance forms where every gesture tells a story. It’s the kind of costume piece that dance teachers consistently recommend for its blend of tradition and practicality.

While not designed to be easily removable, a skilled tailor could detach them if absolutely necessary. However, we advise keeping them as they contribute to the authentic Krishnar look.
