Refined viewers, welcome to A Journey through Aesthetic Realms on Supreme Master Television. With over 8,000 years of history, India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. Her rich culture is reflected in many aspects of social life.

Today, we will have an opportunity to find out about the elegant saree, which has adorned women of the nation for at least 2,000 years. Situated 100 kilometers southeast of Mumbai, Pune is India's eighth largest city. Its Kala Niketan saree showroom is one of the country's most renowned retailers of the well-loved garment. 

Supreme Master TV (f): From Pune, India, welcome to Supreme Master Television. We are in Kala Niketan saree showroom at this time, which is considered famous in India for sarees. You will find a wide variety of sarees, which belong to different states of India. A customer coming from any state of India to shop for a saree at Kala Niketan will surely find one of their choices.

HOST: A saree is a long piece of fabric worn by adult women. It is wrapped around the body and therefore fits any body size or shape. A properly draped saree highlights the wearer's ethereal grace.

Supreme Master TV (f): A saree's length is approximately six yards, [about 5.5 meters] and in India, the saree is usually draped in 10 to 15 different styles. In the most common style, one end of the saree is tied around the waist and the other end is taken over the shoulder. The saree is worn over a petticoat, which is tied below the navel. We wear a blouse on top, which is called choli.

HOST: The history of the saree can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization between 2800 and 1800 BCE. Depictions of people wearing a draped garment have been found in ancient sculptures and poetry. According to folklore, a beautiful fairy appeared in the dream of a weaver and inspired him to make a long strip of flowing cloth which became the saree. Sarees have evolved over time, and its current form has been around for at least several hundred years.

Made with both elaborate and simple materials, sarees have two ends that serve different functions. The end used for anchor is made plain; the other end, called pallu, hangs outside.

It is greatly extended and highly embellished. In addition, garnishments are also added to the two longitudinal borders. Although machine weaving has become available, sarees used for formal occasions are almost exclusively made by hand.
