THEN SOME SLIDES OF MODERN WAYS OF WEARING A SAREE
4. TRADITIONAL SAREE
DRAPING STYLES FROM
DIFFERENT PARTS OF INDIA
One Of The Best Attire Is Which Every Women Can Flaunt
Themselves Is Saree. No Matter Whether You Are An Indian, A
British Or An American, A Saree Draped On You Make You Look
Set Apart From All Kind Of Ethnic Wears. Moreover, With The
Merge Of Western Outfit Wearing Styles, Saree Has A New
Outlook On The Ramps, In Films And In The Red Carpets Of
Various Events.
India Is A Saree Trove And Every Region Has A Unique Saree
Draping Style. Thus, The Fashion Of Saree Never Fades. India Is
A Land Of Multiple Cultures And Traditions That Goes Back
Centuries. Attire, Food, Rituals, Festivals Etc Are All Influenced By
These Cultures And Traditions. Clothes And Fashion In India Are
Strongly Inspired By The Local Culture. While The Saree Is An
Outfit That Is Worn By Women All Over India, The Way This
Garment Is Draped And Styled Differs From Region To Region.
5. ATHPOUREY SHARI
DRAPE FROM BENGAL
One of the most
recognizable saree
draping style is the
Bengali style. Unlike the
modern day saree, it has a
box pleat at the front.
The pallu comes from
back to the front on both
sides. Traditionally a
bunch of keys was
attached to the pallu
6. NIVI DRAPE FROM
ANDHRA PRADESH
Modern day saree
drape is derived from
the Nivi drape of
Andhra Pradesh. This
style was mostly worn
by the aristocracy.
Though not very work
friendly, this style
accentuates a woman’s
curves in the best way 6
7. One of the most
elegant ways to wear a
Assam handloom saree,
the Mekhela chador is
worn by the petite
beauties of Assam. It
comes in two main
pieces — the bottom is
worn like a sarong with
pleats in the front 7
MEKHELA CHADOR
FROM ASSAM
8. NAUVARI SAREE FROM
MAHARASHTRA
The Nauvari or the original
nine-yard saree speaks
volumes about the strong,
independent women of
Maharashtra. This saree
draping style is
distinguished by its unusual
draping pattern which
necessitates it being worn
around the legs like a dhoti
while the upper part is
worn like a normal saree. 8
9. The Namboothiri is an
ancient remnant of a saree
worn in Kerala used to
cover only the lower part
of the body. The mundum
neriyathum combination of
the mundum, or the lower
garment and the
neriyathum or the upper
garment. Latter of the
Saree is tucked inside the 9
NAMBOOTHIRI FROM
KERALA
10. MOHINIYATTAM FROM
KERALA
This drape is primarily worn by
the Golla (shepherd) and the
Gudati Kapulu (agriculturist)
communities of Narasannapalle,
a village in the Kadapa district
of Andhra Pradesh. Though the
drape begins like a normal nivi
drape, once the pleats are
made, they are twisted around
the body and tucked at the
waist from the other end
instead of the front. The
pleats are rolled outwards and
secured by wrapping them over 10
11. In everyday saree draping
style in Gujarat, Uttar
Pradesh and Odisha, this
saree drape resembles a
lehenga choli where the pallu
of the saree is used in place
of the dupatta. This permits
immense freedom of
movement and works very
well for heavy sarees where
the shoulder doesn’t have to 11
SEEDHA PALLU FROM
GUJARAT, UP AND
ODISHA
12. SURGUJA FROM
CHHATTISGARH
One of the most
elegant ways of
draping a saree, this
style is worn by the
dancers of the Oraon
community of
Chattisgarh. A 5.3-
yard saree is used to
create a stand out
whirling effect at the 12
13. Ceremonial performers of
nomadic origin are
associated with this style.
Draped from an 8-yard
saree, this can be used
either as a one-piece lower
pant style drape, or a two-
piece drape which involves
a shawl to cover the bust,
depending on the comfort
of the wearer. The best 13
BOOTHEYARA FROM
KARNATAKA
14. COORGI STYLE FROM
KARNATAKA
The Coorgi style finds a
mention in a popular story of
Kaveri and Agastya. This
draping style evolved to help
Coorgi women lead an active
life — climbing the hilly
slopes of the Western Ghats
and trees on a daily basis.
Traditionally, paired with a
full sleeved blouse, this style
has pleats at the back. The
end of the sari is brought
below the left shoulder, and 14
15. The simple, but elegant Parsi
drape is worn by most Parsi
women during festivities, and
even on a regular basis. Parsi
women begin wearing a saree
after the Saree Perawan
ceremony, which is a rite of
passage ceremony. Most
Parsi women prefer a light
chiffon or georgette saree
for this drape. Called a gara,
the pallu is taken from
behind and draped over the 15
GOL SARI
(PARSI DRAPE)
16. MADISARU FROM TAMIL
NADU
A very important part of the
Iyer and Iyengar culture of
Tamil Nadu, the Madisaru
was worn by women,
traditionally after marriage.
Today however, this saree
drape is sported on special
occasions and festivities.
One of the toughest styles
to drape, if worn properly, it
does not require the use of a
blouse or a petticoat. It
follows the 16
17. Traditional santhal sarees
are characterised by their
chequered pattern. One of
the simplest sarees to drape,
it has evolved over the years
with an improvement in the
economic status of the tribe.
Very similar to the Bengali
drape, it has a box pleat at
the front and the pallu is
