Indian sarees

Nau vari Saree

            

           Maharashtra has always demonstrated the Indian style factor that has at all times been a little different and a little unique than what is otherwise considered traditional and conventional. Nauvari Sari happens to fit this example in the best way possible, since it is a unique form of sari which stands on a different shelf altogether when we speak of different saris from different states.

It is a nine yard long sari, thus the name Nauvari. It drapes in such a way that it gives a trouser-dress like appearance. Unlike the other Sari’s this one does not need a slip or a petticoat to complete the look. Commonly these saris are available in Cotton. Along with the sari comes another traditional costume ‘Pano Bhaju’ which is mostly used in Goa- an ensemble to dance the Mando. Pano Bhaju traces its roots to the pre- Portuguese era. These were usually accessorized with the Valkal – a string of beads.
