Woman and girl dressed in traditional Maharashtra sari
A sari, saree or shari[note 1] is a South Asian female garment[1] that consists of a drape varying from five to nine yards (4.57 meters to 8.23 meters) in length[2] and two to four feet (60 cm to 1.20 m) in breadth[3] that is typically wrapped around the waist, with one end draped over the shoulder, baring the midriff.[4][5][6]
The sari is usually worn over a petticoat (called 'parkar' in Marathi lahaṅgā or lehenga in the north; pavadai in Tamil, pavada (or occasionally langa) in Malayalam, Kannada and Telugu, chaniyo, parkar, ghaghra, or ghagaro in the west; and shaya in eastern India), with a fitted upper garment commonly called a blouse (ravika in the south and choli elsewhere). The blouse has short sleeves and is usually cropped at the midriff. The sari is associated with grace and is widely regarded as a symbol of Indian, Pakistani,[7] Nepalese, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan culture.
