The Nettipattam is a glittering ornament placed on the forehead of an elephant, particularly during the grand festivals of Kerala. The gold color of the Nettipattam makes it an eye-catching item that enhances the spectacle of these celebrations. Besides its traditional use in adorning elephants, the Nettipattam has found its way into home decor. It is considered very beautiful and elegant when hung on the walls of houses, adding a touch of traditional charm and cultural significance to the interior.

Caparisons, traditionally used to adorn elephants during religious processions, have also become popular as decorative pieces in homes and offices. These ornaments are traditionally made of copper and gold, contributing to their luxurious and attractive appearance.
