ABOUT

Nettippattom is the decorative ornament for elephants used during temple processions.Mighty, massive and majestic tuskers, decked out in elaborate and admirable ornaments, are a sight common to most festival celebrations across God’s Own Country. Among the most splendid sights during this revelry is the Nettippattom, which is the shining ornament that adorns the forehead of the elephant. It is one of the most carefully crafted ornaments in the entire country, as the rigor and care taken into decorating these beloved animals is indigenous to the State.The making of the Nettippattom, Three and a half kilograms of copper and three absolute (24 gm.) of gold go into the making of a simple nettippattom. It takes not less than 20 days to craft this ornament. The size of the nettippattom changes with that of the elephant. An elephant of 9 to 10 ft. height would require an ornament of 60- 66 in length with at least 11 chandrakkala (crescents) on it.
