About Kodava Payu
The Kodava Payu is a traditional protective hairstyle originating from the Kodava community in South India, characterized by its thick, rope-like twists that are often adorned with flowers or cultural accessories. This style is not only a fashion statement but also holds cultural significance, commonly worn during festivals and weddings.
