Saree is one of the world’s oldest and perhaps the only surviving unstiched garment from the past over the millennia , it has not only become a sensuous, glamorous all-time-wear for Indian women, but also the “canvas” for weavers and printers to create artistic weaves, prints and jewelled or gold-silver embellishments !
saree has no parallels in terms of versatility, richness of colour, texture, and variety of weaving techniques using different kinds of yarn, including cotton, silk, gold and silver thread , because of these handloom sarees are my only choice.
I would like to start my saree pact with the story of my first draped saree . First time I carried saree for my school farewell party , it was my mother’s lush green silk saree with broad golden border and beautifully designed golden zari pallu, with pearl choker set studded with ruby and emerald . unfortunately I don’t have photograph of that beautiful saree but its in my memory whenever I go for saree shopping first I look for my favourite green saree …still looking , hopefully I will get ” meri wali green” someday.
Saree is not only wearing but its tradition we have different patterns and styles of sarees by which one can easily recognize the specific region . This is a chanderi saree …had worn on my graduation farewell party with katak silver jewellery . usually chanderi sarees are made in traditional colours but this saree is in secondary colour and this uniqueness attracted me …had choosen this saree for my special day …..
The picture is perfect. I like this picture among all other sarees in this 100sareepact coz it is black and white and none have them like this photo.
