SARIS - SPLENDOUR IN THREADS

Splendid and elegant, the sari is undoubtedly the most important cultural symbol of India. This garment has been in existence for millennia, with evidence of its presence going back to the very beginning of Indian civilization.

The book ‘Saris – Splendour in Threads’, written by our very own member Soha Parekh, depicts the journey of this unstitched garment from ancient times through successive lines of royals to modern India. It dwells into the unparalleled skills of master weavers and craftsmen and the unmatched beauty of various saris across length and breadth of India. The book is the result of her passion for Indian traditions and culture. She has travelled extensively across India interacting with the various weavers and craftsmen. Today, Soha will be taking us on a journey of the 9 yards across major states of India.

Ladies, please do come dressed in your traditional saris and styles to make it a more interesting and interactive morning!
