What should I wear to a South Indian wedding as a guest?
Silk is the safe and respectful choice: a Kanjeevaram or other silk saree, or a pattu pavadai or half-saree for younger guests. Men wear a veshti or mundu with a silk or linen shirt, or a kurta. Many ceremonies start early in the morning, so think daylight colours with gold borders: mustard, green, pink, peacock blue, with temple jewellery. Wear footwear that slips off easily, since you may leave it outside the hall or temple.
