Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we answer most often on the phone, collected in one place. If yours is not here, call 080893 13060 — we would rather answer it directly than have you guess.
About the Studio
We are at Pottakuzhi – Mamangalam Rd, Vaduthala, Kochi 682023, open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. We rent classical, Kerala art form, folk, cinematic and character costumes plus temple jewellery, across child and adult sizes.
About Bookings
Bookings are by phone or WhatsApp, not online. Availability moves hourly in season, so a live answer is more reliable than a form submission. There is no online checkout and no delivery.
About Costs
Rental runs from about ₹200 for practice wear to around ₹1,500 for a full arangetram set with jewellery. Group rates are lower per costume. Cleaning is included; deposits are refundable.
