The saree is a gorgeous ensemble that is versatile in every drape. 29 different states and each state has a unique weave and cultural inheritance gifted because of the saree. The trend of saree saw a backfall quite some time back. But modern millennials revived the art by bringing back its lost glory. Today, saree is more in demand than it ever was. 

Saree has a fantastic ability to reveal the personality of the person wearing it. And unlike other styles of garments, Saree surprisingly suits all sorts of body types, colours and ages in unique ways. Saree became a sense of pride for women practising modest dressing in India. Not only that, this unstitched garment found its prominence in neighbouring countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal as well. 

India is home to dyeing, printing, silk weaving and all sorts of traditional handicrafts. The unique weave of each state consists of a mix of these handicraft elements. As said earlier, 29 different states and more than 29 different regional variants of saree are popular worldwide. Be it Kanchipuram, Kanjeevaram, Patola, Pochampally, Ikat, Tussar, or Bandhani- each handicraft represents a state it belongs to. These sarees have made worldwide popularity and it’s no surprise that even foreigners are inclined to the beauty of sarees. 

Machine-loomed sarees have gained prominence in recent decades. They are available at cheap rates and are supplied heavily worldwide. While this has enhanced the popularity of the saree, the traditional weaving arts are seeing a setback because of industrialization. However, efforts to revive and popularize the original weaving methods are being made and surprisingly they are seeing a positive result.
