Became aware of this pact only recently, but coincidentally have been wearing sarees almost daily after a long time. Perhaps it’s the sisterhood connection! This saree is particularly precious to me as this was one of my first gifts to my mother. She wore it just once and kept it away as she reached a stage where she could no longer wear sarees and eventually passed away in 2013. This was the only ‘heirloom’ I got back from home and wore it for the first time.
