Subtle Art to Drape 5 Yards of Elegance: A Saree
Ever wondered where the sarees actually came from? Well... if you haven't then here is a little insight on how sarees became a part of our lives. History of Sarees: The journey of saree began with cotton, which was first cultivated in the Indian subcontinent around 5th millennium BC. The cultivation was followed by weaving of cotton which became big during the era, as weavers started using prevalent dyes like indigo, lac, red madder and turmeric to produce the drape used by women to hide their modesty. Saree might be a fashionable garment now, but it started from being a humble drape used by women thousands of years ago. The origin of the drape or a garment similar to the sari can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, which came into being during 2800–1800 BC in north west India.
