Traditional mat-weaving is a practice prevalent across the state of Tamil Nadu. Pattamadai, a small village in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu, is known for its beautiful handwoven mats that are made of korai grass.

The making of a Pattamadai pai involves processes like drying, soaking, splitting, and dyeing. The mats are made of korai grass (Cyperus corymbosus rottb.) that are found abundantly on the banks of the Thamirabarani river in Tirunelveli. 

The Government of Madras (now Tamil Nadu) gifted the Pattamadai pai to Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, and this gracious gesture helped the pai reach the international market.

In 2013, the Pattamadai pai was given the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.
