The saree is deeply entrenched in India’s fashion history and plays a major role in its heritage. These nine yards of elegance vary from state to state in India. Each has its own charm, craftsmanship, and style. Let’s check out the different types of sarees in India that add up grace to the Indian Heritage.

The History Of Sarees In India

The saree has been around for more than 6000 years. It is believed to have evolved from a three-piece garment consisting of unstitched pieces of cloth draped as a lower garment, a chest band, and a piece worn over one’s shoulder or head. The saree later became that one stretch of cloth that did all this at once. Skillfully pleated at the waist to make it convenient to walk, the saree thus became an integral part of Indian history.

Here are the different types of sarees found across India.
