Sarees

One of the most iconic, vivid images associated with India is that of an Indian woman draped in large swaths of stunning fabric known as the Saree.
Sarees are deeply rooted in the cultural fabric of India as a traditional garment for women of all ages. From all geographic corners of India, the Saree unites women of social strata. Indian women wear saree and go about their day to day lives with effortless grace.
The sheer enormity of colours, fabrics, textures, and drapes of this beautiful attire lends itself to is simply mind-boggling ! From simple linen to cotton and gossamer, silks, chiffons, georgette, organza… the list goes on and on.
The design of saree is also incredibly diverse. As far as the types of weaves, embroidery, and kaleidoscopic colours in which Sarees are available in India… the variety is the stuff of legends ! Saree has persevered, toiled, transformed, and continues to evolve, encompassing the changing world around it but also remaining consistently true to its innate aesthetics.
The saree is one of the oldest form of clothing on planet earth, with references of it dating back centuries. Over the past 6 centuries, a lot has changed in the world. Fashion trends keep on changing — infact, what was considered fashionable in the 70's of the west is no longer considered fashionable today. In India, there have been thousands of invasions, conquests by foreign rulers, changes in cultures & rulers — and then some. Goddesses in Indian religions have been adorned with sarees. The real significance of the saree lies in the management of such a huge piece of cloth in an aristocrat way. Sarees are usually linked with the managing abilities of a woman, just like how she manages so many important or trivial chores in a perfect fashion while being at it. Women look most refined, polished, charming, and lovely while performing their chores while at the same time, creating a harmony wherever they are.
