The Sari Series:

Maybe the most flexible article of clothing on the planet, the sari is a mind-blowing plan commitment from India. Its wrap is referred to the world over and worn by a huge number of ladies consistently. It is flexible and versatile to setting, climate, and culture, with its making straightforwardly attached to the occupations of millions of karigars (craftspeople). Generally, it is a solitary piece of unstitched texture with variable densities in its parts - with heavier loads considering it to accurately wrap. Today, its definition incorporates materials woven by the factory or the hard way, frequently with one thickness. However, what can be worn in the north of 100 distinct ways has predominantly been trimmed down to one perceived way of hanging, known as the Nivi wrap.

Why aren't there more ladies donning saris? According to our perspective, we have essentially restricted the scope of a living, breathing garment that is intended for adaptation to one dimension. Most people think that wearing a sari in the Nivi drape is the sole option, and more significantly, they lack the resources to easily learn the other drapes.

As a result, we are left with a garment that is frequently seen as conventional, out-of-date, and lacking in opportunity for experimentation. Not only is this simply untrue of the sari, but it also puts the garment in danger since future generations will not want to wear it and because they have already begun to relegate it to occasion wear in many larger cities.
