Kanauti

The Kanauti is a beautifully crafted accessory designed to support earrings, particularly for Kathak dancers who perform rapid spins and intricate movements. Made by skilled Kundan craftsmen, this unique piece is essential for ensuring that earrings stay securely in place while offering added comfort during dance performances.

In Kathak, where the dancer's movements are quick and dynamic, the weight of the earrings can sometimes be a challenge. The Kanauti is specifically created to solve this problem. It provides support to prevent earrings from pulling or slipping, especially during spins and turns. This allows the dancer to focus on their performance without worrying about their jewelry.

The Kanauti is particularly useful for those who wear heavy earrings. It helps to distribute the weight evenly, reducing strain on the ear and making it easier to wear large, ornate earrings for extended periods. The accessory is discreet and fits comfortably behind the ear, ensuring that it doesn’t interfere with the dancer's movements while still offering strong support.

Crafted by expert Kundan craftsmen, the Kanauti showcases fine artistry.  The accessory is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, often featuring a blend of delicate embellishments and elegant patterns that complement the dancer's attire and enhance the visual appeal of their performance.

In addition to its use in Kathak, the Kanauti is a versatile accessory that can be worn by anyone seeking additional support for heavy earrings, ensuring comfort without sacrificing style.
