You don't just get to know practical instructions to drap a saree. But you would be given insights on the history of the saree, different draping styles, how certain draping style is linked to a particular class of society, some styling is specific to geographical location, and stories of accessories too.

At the end of the session, you will be able to tie the saree all by yourself and carry yourself with grace and confidence. We also offer welcome drinks such as warm black tea cool buttermilk or refreshing lime juice depending on your choice. You would get to choose accessories to match your saree. A saree manual will be emailed for future reference. A wide variety of sarees is available for you to select and practice, and most importantly to take some amazing pictures.

What to expect

When in Rome, do as Romans do. Have you observed that Bollywood song where the Heroine, gives the main character vibes with a silky wrap of cloth on her? Have you noticed the native women draped in a piece of cloth? Have you observed men in a simple wrap around their waist? Ever wondered how it hangs to the body frame? How the folds are made? Yes, we are talking about Saree (for Women) and Veshti (for Men).

We got some interesting way of wrapping a plain cloth around the body in many different ways. Come, don't just take photographs of it, learn the native's way of dressing and shop if you love to take some.
