Sari
Summary
A sari (sometimes also saree or shari) is a women's garment from the Indian subcontinent, that consists of an un-stitched stretch of woven fabric arranged over the body as a robe, with one end attached to the waist, while the other end rests over one shoulder as a stole (shawl), sometimes baring a part of the midriff. It may vary from in length, and in breadth, and is form of ethnic wear in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. There are various names and styles of sari manufacture and draping, the most common being the Nivi style. The sari is worn with a fitted bodice also called a choli (hunterian or hunterian in southern India, and hunterian in Nepal) and a petticoat called hunterian, hunterian, or hunterian. It remains fashionable in the Indian Subcontinent today.
The Hindustani word ISO (साड़ी, ), described in Sanskrit शाटी ISO which means 'strip of cloth' and शाडी ISO or साडी ISO in Pali, ಸೀರೆ or sīre in Kannada and which evolved to ISO in modern Indian languages. The word ISO is mentioned as describing women's dharmic attire in Sanskrit literature and Buddhist literature called Jatakas. This could be equivalent to the modern day sari. The term for female bodice, the hunterian evolved from ancient ISO. Rajatarangini, a tenth-century literary work by Kalhana, states that the choli from the Deccan was introduced under the royal order in Kashmir.
The petticoat is called hunterian (साया, ) in Hindi-Urdu, hunterian (परकर) in Marathi, hunterian (உள்பாவாடை) in Tamil (hunterian in other parts of South India: pāvāṭa, pāvaḍa, pāvuḍe), ISO (সায়া) in Bengali and eastern India, and ISO (සාය) in Sinhalese. Apart from the standard "petticoat", it may also be called "inner skirt" or an inskirt.
The history of Sari-like drapery can be traced back to the Indus Valley civilisation, which flourished during 2800–1800 BCE around the northwestern part of the Indian subcontinent. Cotton was first cultivated and woven on the Indian subcontinent around the 5th millennium BCE.
