Source(google.com.pk)The traditional costume of women in Maharashtra is a nine-yard long saree, hence called Nauwari (Nau=9 & war=yard).The other popular name for this saree is Lugade. A Nauwari saree resembles male trousers. Saree is essentially Indian and designed to suit local conditions.This specific style of draping does not require a petticoat or a slip beneath it.
The Nauwari Saree has a historical background.During the Maratha rule, women were entrusted with the grave responsibility of helping their male partners, at emergency period of wars.To facilitate easy movement, the Maharashtrian women then introduced the Nauwari Saree.Thus, such a costume reminds of the caliber of women to equal men even in difficult art of warfare.It is thus obvious that the brave air, associated with Maharashtrian women, found their epitome in the outstandingly courageous, Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Lakshmibai, had the guts to assert the cause of her motherland against the British, during the Revolt of 1857.Thus, the Nauwari sari, drives home the essential truth, that the traditional motherly figure of womanhood, can become the protector of good when required.

Raja Ravi Varma, the distinguished painter of 19th century, toured the entire sub continent in search of the ideal female wear.He wanted the best dress for the various goddesses he was asked and commissioned to paint.He selected the a nine yard saree which drapes the body beautifully at the same time exhibiting contours of female anatomy.

Among the most curious of the ‘culture shocks’ I have received was while flipping through the pages of the Islamabad telephone directory. I was in the Pakistani capital for an academic seminar; but had arrived a day earlier than scheduled. This was back before the days of email, so I could not inform my host (the economist Tariq Banuri) of the change beforehand. Thus I was at the airport, looking through the telephone book for the name of ‘Banuri’. When I found it I also noticed the entry just above, which was of the ‘Banaras Sari House’.
That, certainly, was not the kind of establishment one expected to find in the heart of an Islamic state. When Pakistan was ruled by a woman, Benazir Bhutto, she only wore the salwar kameez. So, as I was to observe, did other women in Pakistan. Besides, Banaras was a holy city of the Hindus. How then was there a Banaras Sari House in the Pakistani capital?
