Six yards of cloth. That is not all there is to the saree. This dress worn by millions of Indian women is, by far, the most elegant. It is not merely an outfit but an ornament, lending both grace and glamour to the person who wears it. More important, the saree epitomizes the continuity of an age-old tradition that has withstood the onslaught of many different cultures, to emerge today as a visible symbol of the resiliency, continuity and timelessness of the Indian way of life.



The saree speaks for itself of so many things. Every rustle of this unique garment has a story to tell – stories both of happiness and of sorrow. For the saree has seen it all. It has shared, with the wearer, every nuance of human experience – the joy and happiness of marriage, as well as the sorrow of parting, the pleasures and satisfaction of motherhood, the happy times when the life dealt kindly, the trying times when adversity was met with typical Indian stoicism. .



The mood, the occasion, the event can all be conveyed through the saree. The colour reflects the occasion. The way it is draped signals the community. Brocades speak of happy times, an event of celebration – the birth of a baby, the marriage of a dear one. Festivals life Diwali or Durga Puja, are occasion to bring out colourful dreams in gold woven in-between vibrant rainbow-hued skeins of silk. Solemn white speaks of death, of the parting of a loved one. For those in the immediate family it indicates a state of mourning and for those who come to offer condolences it is a sign of their empathy with the bereaved. For the bride it is always, in almost all communities, a bright red.
