Sari drapes
A sari is a traditional South Asian garment, usually worn by women, consisting of a long, unstitched piece of cloth (typically 5–9 yards) draped around the body in various styles. Two popular draping styles are the Navi style, which is the most common and comes from Andhra Pradesh — here, the sari is pleated in front and the loose end (pallu) draped over the left shoulder. The Bengal (Bengali) style has no front pleats - instead, the pallu is wrapped around and thrown over both shoulders, often showing off its decorative end.
The dhoti is a traditional male garment — a rectangular cloth wrapped around the waist and legs, resembling loose pants. It is tied at the waist and often worn during religious ceremonies, weddings, and cultural festivals.
Both the sari and dhoti are worn across India, serving not only as everyday wear but also as ceremonial attire during weddings, festivals, and rituals.
