What is a Saree?
A saree is more than just a piece of fabric; it's a symbol of grace, femininity, and cultural heritage. Originating from the Indian subcontinent, the saree is a versatile garment that can be draped in various styles, reflecting the diversity of the regions it hails from.
 
Different Draping Styles:
1. Nivi Style:Originating from Andhra Pradesh, this is the most common and classic way of draping a saree, with pleats in the front.
2. Bengali Style:Known for its unique pleat placement and elaborate pallu designs, this style is synonymous with Bengali culture.
3. Gujarati Style: Characterized by its front pallu, this style is popular in Gujarat and features intricate pleating at the back.
4. Maharashtrian Style: Also known as the Nauvari saree, it involves draping the saree like a dhoti, creating a distinctive look.
5. Tamilian Style: This style involves draping the saree in a seamless, elegant manner, with the pallu draped over the left shoulder.
