Cultural & Spiritual notes
The name "Pattu" holds a significant place in Indian culture, particularly in the southern states. In the traditional Kanchipuram silks of Tamil Nadu, "Pattu" refers to the soft quality of the fabric. The term "Pattu Saree" is synonymous with exquisite and delicate silk fabrics.
In the spiritual context, the name "Pattu" can be interpreted as the 'Divine One.' For Hindus, God is often described as 'small' or 'minuscule' compared to the vastness of the universe and human lives. Yet, despite this, God is omnipresent, beautiful, and attractive. Therefore, "Pattu" signifies the profound belief that even a small and seemingly insignificant entity can be intricately beautiful and eternally powerful.
