A saree is a traditional garment worn by women, primarily in South Asia. It is a long, unstitched piece of cloth, usually ranging from 5 to 9 yards in length. The saree is draped elegantly around the body, with one end (called the pallu or aanchal) draped over the shoulder. It can be worn in various styles, depending on the region or personal preference. Sarees are made from a wide range of fabrics like silk, cotton, chiffon, georgette, and satin. They often feature intricate patterns, embroidery, or embellishments such as zari (gold or silver thread work), beads, and sequins. The designs and colors vary greatly, from simple and monochromatic to richly adorned with motifs, florals, and traditional symbols. The saree is typically worn over a petticoat (an inner skirt) and paired with a fitted blouse, also known as a choli. This versatile attire is worn for various occasions, from daily wear to festive events, weddings, and formal gatherings. Its timeless beauty and grace make it a cherished piece of clothing across cultures.
