A saree (or sari) is a traditional Indian garment consisting of a long piece of fabric, typically 5 to 9 yards, draped around the body in various styles. Worn with a blouse and petticoat, sarees are known for their elegance, vibrant colors, and intricate designs, and are commonly made from materials like silk, cotton, or chiffon. They are widely worn for both daily wear and special occasions across South Asia.
