A sari or saree is a female garment in the India. A sari is a long piece of un-stitched cloth with an average length of 6 metres that is draped over the body in various styles. This attire can cover the body from head to toe, making a woman look modest and bashful. The first mention of saris (alternately spelled sarees) is in the Rig Veda, a Hindu book of hymns dating to 3,000 B.C.; draped garments show up on Indian sculptures from the first through sixth centuries, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
