Source(google.com.pk)In the early stages, people of both sexes wore the garment. It became more refined, adjustable and in tune with the gender needs of men and women. This was necessitated by various considerations such as region and social conditions. With passage of time, the garment came to be known as dhoti and made in tune with the physical appearance of men folk. And the same with women, for whom the garment's name remained the same, that is, Saree.
Gupta schools (1st-6thcentury AD) reveal that the Saree in its earlier form was a brief garment with a veil.
Ancient records also support the fact that in South India the Saree has been for a long period a single piece of material, which served as both skirt and veil. This trend continues to date in some rural areas.
The well-known Indian painter of the 19thcentury Raja Raviverma in his time was asked to do a neat paint-up on various goddesses. Towards this purpose, he looked for a wear, which suited the goddesses he was to paint.
He scouted the length and breadth of the whole sub-continent for that elusive perfect female-wear. He found one, in the form of Saree, a garment that in his opinion made for a perfect female wear. It fitted and presented a woman, as they should be.
Famous Indian historical heroines like Queen Jhansi Laxmibai, Belawadi Mallamma and Kittur Chennamma wore Saree during their battles. Neat and tightly away, Saree enabled them to battle enemy troops on horseback.
A worn-out Saree was and is used in many innovative ways. Once its usefulness as a garment wears tapers off, they were and continue to be used as a bed sheet cover; the torn part of the garment was covered by a cloth and used as such. Village women use Saree as pouches and bags to carry grocery and their little ones. On some occasions, they are used by village folk as a cradle, tying the ends of a Saree to nearby trees.
They are also used as towels, napkins, and so on long after they are worn out.
Ancient western historians like Herodotus and so on thought that Saree were cloth-growing trees in India.
Significance of color in sarees
SAREE, the world's oldest surviving garment, is still de rigueur outfit for most brides. Indian marriages showcase our ancient rich heritage in the repertoire of saris draped by brides from different regions. Even colours and patterns woven in various fabrics of saree, signify many beliefs embedded in our culture.
Undeniably a bride's charm heightens more in a beautiful sari. The modern bride has access to almost a limitless rich and varied sarees ranging from Mysore silks, Banarsis, Kanjivarams, Paithanis, Pochampallis, Patolas, Tanchois, Tangails, Jamawars, Balucharis, Zardosis, Gharcholas, those embellished with rich gold and silver embroidery, mirrors, crystals and beads to designer saris. Indeed, its difficult for a bride to choose a suitable one for most important day in her life, her wedding day, when all eyes are upon her. How will she decide which one to drape for this occasion?
Although every bride has a ritual bath, significantly it is class, caste, ethnicity and regional customs that determine what kind of a sari she will adorn herself with in terms of fabric, colour and pattern. Moreover, there are many sari-draping styles that vary from region to region.
As is commonly believed, all Indian brides do not wear fiery red saris (lehenga for Rajasthani ones). Only ones from north India, Bengal as well as Brahmins of south India do so, regarding red as colour of blood and marital bliss having several emotional, sexual and fertility related qualities. Auspicious red is prominently portrayed in matrimonial symbols like sindoor, bindi and chura (traditional red and ivory bangles) of Punjabi brides. Variations of red are burgundy, magenta, pink and orange, blue and black being inauspicious.
