Abstract [English]

In India, the epic story of the sari is not less than 2000 years of romance. The essential simplicity of a sari is an untailored length of cloth, measuring between 4 and 9-meter-long and approximately one meter wide with highly sophisticated design vocabulary. Thomas Carlyle once said, “Society is founded on cloth”. India’s sari evolved out of a complex physical, historical and cultural environment that differs from region to region and community to community. While the sari remains an overarching symbol of Hindu vestimentary practices, it is the harmonious coherence of design and techniques of production that impact a distinct identity to the tradition. Ethical, moral and political dictums of social codes have always guided the core of design philosophy for saris since ages. Such regulations have forever posed a challenge to seek the scope for independent expression of the weavers.
