Sari - dress of Hindu goddesses and simple Indian women

On the pages of magazines and websites you have probably seen Indian beauties more than once in colorful dresses decorated with precious stones and embroidered patterns. The fabric they are wearing is called a sari.

Sari is the traditional clothing of women living in India. Appearing many centuries ago, such an outfit was made from a long piece of canvas in the form of a rectangle. Women wrapped themselves in such a canvas, draping it to emphasize the bends of the figure and hide possible flaws.

Centuries later, sarees were still popular. These are casual and elegant clothes of Indian women, as well as the original outfit of women in other countries. With the help of a sari, beauties can demonstrate their femininity, grace and grace.

The product is a canvas without seams 5-9 meters long and about 1 meter wide. Under it, a woman puts on a skirt that is slightly shorter than a sari, as well as a blouse called choli. The blouse is often the color of the skirt and sari, although if the sari has a solid color, the finish of the blouse may vary.

With the advent of sarees in the wardrobe of women in India, many legends are associated. According to one of them, such a robe was created on a magical loom by a weaver who dreamed of an ideal woman. He combined in the canvas all the qualities that should be in such a beauty, having received incredibly beautiful and long clothes.

Another legend connects the appearance of a sari with King Pandava, who lost his fortune and his own family in gambling. The last loss of the king was his wife. Enemies wanted to expose her, wanting to disgrace a woman, but failed to unwind her clothes.Krishna protected the spouse of a pandava by dressing her in a sari.

Having carefully examined the fabric of the sari, its colors, drapery and ornament, you can learn a lot about the girl on whom you see such a robe. Sarees are made primarily from silk, chiffon or cotton. The quality of the material indicates the wealth of the owner of the sari.

In the manufacture of Indian sarees, only men are involved. One outfit is produced over time (about 6 months). Sarees cannot be called a cheap outfit, but such a thing serves a very long period and is often passed on to descendants.

At first glance, most saris are similar to each other, but this is not the case. Each outfit is unique, and there are more than a dozen ways to drape them.
