A ethnic wear, An unstitched fabric of feminine elegance
, a sensual attire or a six yard wonder…Sari can be defined in thousand other ways round but in one word it only represents the traditional culture of INDIA which is been recognized globally.
A brief history on Sari
The word sari evolved from the Prakrit word ‘sattika’ as mentioned in earliest Buddhist Jain literature. The word got shortened to sati and further evolved into sari. The history backdates us to the days when the civilization got established, yes to the Indus Valley civilization.

Different parts of INDIA are having different types of sarees and also follows different pattern for draping a sari. Sari is usually worn with a blouse and petticoat. Blouse covers the upper part of the body and the underneath is the petticoat which helps in tucking the plates of the sari.

Blouse got its existence with the Muslims and British era. Since then many new experiments were carried over with the modern times.
