Sari - dress of Hindu goddesses and simple Indian women

On the pages of magazines and websites, you probably have often seen Indian beauties in bright dresses, trimmed with precious stones and embroidered patterns. The cloth in which they are dressed is called a sari.

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

Centuries later, sarees are 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 saris, beauties can demonstrate their femininity, elegance and grace.

The product is a canvas without seams with a length of 5-9 meters and a width of about 1 meter. Under it, a woman puts on a skirt, which is slightly shorter than a sari, as well as a blouse, which is called a choli. The blouse is often the same color as the skirt and sari, although if the sari has a uniform color, the finish of the blouse may be different.

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

Another legend connects the occurrence of a sari with King Pandav, who lost his fortune and his own family in gambling. The king's last loss was his spouse. Enemies wanted to achieve its exposure, wanting to disgrace the woman, but failed to unwind the clothes. Krishna protected the pandava consort by dressing her in a sari.

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

In the manufacture of Indian saris involved only men. One outfit is produced for a long time (about 6 months). Sari can not 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 sarees are similar, but this is not the case. Each outfit is unique, and there are more than a dozen ways to drape them.
