Very many years back, the Garden Vareli sarees had taken the time by storm. The luscious softness of these chiffons could almost be compared to the Dairymilk silk chocolate that kind of melts away into the senses.

Cheerful floral prints, beautiful motifs and subtle colours all would steal the show. As a teenager I would be in love with those chiselled bodied models flaunting these sarees and swaying the pallu to the rhythm of the winds with such élan. Like those sunflowers facing towards the sun, I would love staring at the television screen and savour those beautiful Garden Vareli sarees and almost drift in a world where I would imagine growing up to wear sarees just the same.

On this sunny afternoon today, I chanced upon this Garden Vareli Saree and once again sauntered back in time.
