A sari, saree or shari is a South Asian female garment that consists of a drape varying from five to nine yards (4.57meters to 8.23meters) in length  and two to four feet (60cm to 1.20m) in breadth that is typically wrapped around the waist, with one end draped over the shoulder, baring themidriff.

The sari is usually worn over a Petticoat (called 'parkar' (परकर) in marathi lahaṅgā or Lehnga in the north; pavadai in Tamil, pavada (or occasionallylanga) in Telugu, chaniyo, parkar, ghaghra, or ghagaro in the west; and shaya in eastern India), with a fitted upper garment commonly called a blouse (ravika in the south and choli elsewhere). The blouse has short sleeves and is usually cropped at the midriff. The sari is associated with grace and is widely regarded as a symbol of Indian, Pakistani, Neplease, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan culture

Saris are woven with one plain end (the end that is concealed inside the wrap), two long decorative borders running the length of the sari, and a one to three-foot section at the other end which continues and elaborates the length-wise decoration. This end is called the pallu; it is the part thrown over the shoulder in the nivi style of draping.
