 History of Sarees
The Saree boasts of the oldest existence in
the world. It is more than 5000 years old!
Some people think that saree is influenced
by Greek or Roman toga, which we see on
ancient statues. This is not correct, it was
rather a wonder to the Greek eyes.

Saree is essentially designed

to suit local conditions in this
subcontinent.

 MUSLIN
During the Mughal period a fine fabric called Muslin produced
in our country was well known all over the world specially in
Europe for its unique features.
This Muslin was worn by the queens and rich women of that
time. This fabric was so fine that 6 yards of a Muslin saree
could pass through a ring. Unfortunately this art was destroyed
by the British during the British rule. The British rulers killed the
weavers so that the secret would be gone forever.
