Saree

A saree is a traditional Indian garment that consists of a long piece of fabric, usually ranging from five to nine yards in length. It is typically draped elegantly around the body, with one end wrapped around the waist and the other thrown over the shoulder, often showcasing intricate patterns, vibrant colors, and exquisite embroidery.

Sarees can be made from a variety of materials, including silk, cotton, chiffon, and georgette, each lending a unique texture and drape. They often come with a matching blouse (choli) and petticoat. The saree is celebrated for its versatility and grace, suitable for various occasions, from everyday wear to formal events, and is a symbol of cultural heritage in many Indian communities.

Different regions in India have their own distinctive styles of sarees, such as the Banarasi, Kanjivaram, and Bandhani, each reflecting local traditions and craftsmanship.
