Every poothali katta or block is made very carefully to match the traditional motif design shown below.
The bottom side of the block is made with a plain golden piece. Each katta or block is made by placing several flower-shaped golden motifs on top of the golden piece. Thus a single piece of poothali katta is formed. This necklace has 30 to 35 identical pieces of kattas with flower motifs. When we look at this gold necklace design we can see small drops at its every end. These drops are called Thali. The flower-shaped motifs and Thali’s combined together to form a Poothali necklace.
