Sari or Saree, An Indian Clothing

Women of southern India usually wear two kinds of attire - the sari, blouse and petticoat, and the ghagra, choli and odhani. The sari is wrapped around the waist, the pleats tucked in front, and the front then covered by the end-piece. (Sivaramamurti, 1968, 118)The tight-fitting bodice is used as an upper garments,completing the ensemble. The bodice is knotted in front, just below the breasts, with two flaps. In a numher of paintings, women have been portrayed wearing saris that are quite colourful, with a variety of patterns.

The tradition of sari weaving in Southern Indian yields a rich variety of saris. The silk ikat saris from Pochampalli,the Kanchipuram silk and zari-brocaded saris of Tamil Nadu, and the Karalkudi(white cotton with zari) of Kerala consititue some of teh best known sari traditions of the South. The silk pallu and border with a cotton body, of the Gadwals and Wanapartis of Andhra Pradesh, are famous for their quality work, Rich, gold-brocaded saris are made for weddings or for offering to temples. Apart from silk brocades, a range of cotton saris from Tamil Nadu have brilliant checks, and contrasting border and pallu. The cotton-woven jamdani and the intricate weave of Venkatagiris are equally renowned for their workmanship. The royal family of Tanjore patronised special cotton and zari-brocaded saris from the Kadalikaruppar area. These saris combine finely woven cotton with motifs worked in jamdani weave in gold thread.
Material (cotton, silk, zari), patterning and designing vary according to region and caste. The type and volume of saris vary both with provenance and the ethnic group residing in that area.
Women wear the sari in different styles. Some ethnic groups first wrap teh sari around the waist, then take it between the legs, and tuck it at the back. The end piece is used for covering the upper part of the body.

Do not cash to buy some real estate? You should not worry, because it is real to get the mortgage loans to solve all the problems. Hence take a bank loan to buy everything you require.
