Saree Information
A sari or saree or shari is a female garment in the Indian subcontinent. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine metres in length that is draped over the body in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff.The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (pavada/pavadai in the south, and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment.
Saris are woven with one plain end (the end that is concealed inside the wrap), two long decorative borders running the length of the sari, and a one to three foot section at the other end which continues and elaborates the length-wise decoration. This end is called the pallu; it is the part thrown over the shoulder in the Nivi style of draping.
The word 'sari' evolved from the Prakrit word 'sattika' as mentioned in earliest Jain Buddhist literature.
The history of Indian clothing trace the sari back to the Indus Valley Civilization, which flourished in 2800-1800 BCE in India (Gujarat, Haryana and Rajasthan) and Pakistan (Sindh and Punjab provinces).The earliest known depiction of the saree in the Indiain subcontinent is the statue of an Indus valley priest wearing a drape.
While an international image of the 'modern style' sari may have been popularised by airline stewardesses, each region in the Indian subcontinent has developed, over the centuries, its own unique sari style.
