One of the most sensual attires of a woman in India is undoubtedly the sari. It is along unstitched piece of cloth, usually 6 yards long that is draped in a set pattern. It accentuates the curves of a woman and the mid-riff is usuallyexposed. However, the way of draping a saree may differ from place to place.The way it is draped in the north may be slightly different from how it is draped inthe south. It is available in a plethora of fibers, designs and colors. The sari isusually worn with a blouse that covers the upper part of the body andunderneath it is the petticoat, which helps to tuck in the pleats of the saree tohold it in place.Interesting Information on the Background of SariThe history and origin of sari seems to date back to the period of theestablishment of civilization. Evidence states that women in the Indus Valleycivilization used to cover themselves with a long piece of cloth, draped like atrouser. However, the word ‘sari’ originated from the Prakrit word ‘sattika’,which is mentioned in the early Buddhist literature. The word got shortened andwas called sati, which further evolved into sari.A statue recovered from the Indus Valley Civilization depicts a female priest wearing a cloth draped like a sari. The sari used to be draped in a way so that it divides the two legs and forms a trouser like attire. This was basically done toaid the temple dancers in their movements and also cover to their modesty. It isbelieved that the ‘dhoti’, which is the oldest Indian garment that was draped, isthe foundation behind the sari. Till the 14th century, the dhoti was worn by bothmen and women.The early statues of Goddesses show that the sari was draped in a sensualmanner, like a ‘fishtail’, which was tied at the waist, covered up the legs andcame in front of the legs like a decorative drape. During that era, the upper part of the body was either partially covered or was left bare. Down south in the stateof Kerala, one can still see people wearing the traditional sari, which is a twopiece garment, consisting of a lungi and a shawl. With the coming of theMuslims, the ghagra or the petticoat was discovered and clothes were stitched.Before that, Hindus believed piercing clothes with needles was impure.
