The word sari is derived from the Sanskrit meaning strip of cloth. The history of these beautiful and graceful garments can be traced back to the Indus Valley civilization, which flourished from 2800-1800 BC in the western part of the Indian subcontinent. It is worn draped around the waist and over the shoulder, and there are many different ways of draping. A petticoat and blouse are usually worn underneath. Sari can be made of cotton, silk, or synthetic fabrics, in simple or elaborately embroidered designs.
