The saree is the world-renowned traditional Indian garment. A length of cloth usually 5-6 yards in
width, the saree is worn with a petticoat of similar shade and a matching or contrasting choli or blouse.
Typically, it is wrapped around the body such that the pallau - its extensively embroidered or printed
end - is draped over the left shoulder. The petticoat is worn just above or below the bellybutton and
functions as a support garment to hold the saree. Made from a myriad of materials, textures and
designs, the saree is truly exquisite. The kurta is the traditional attire for men on formal occasions. It
is a long knee-length shirt that is typically made from cotton or linen cloth.
