A sari is a along piece of cloth that women wrap around themselves in many different ways. A
=== sari means a "sanskirt".There were many different ways of draping saris – to dress up women wore them like skirts with a top part thrown over their shoulder or worn over their heads as a veil. Working women often pulled their sari up between their legs to make a sort of pants. Women who were fighting with the army tucked in the top part of the sari in the back, to free up their arms for fighting. Most saris were five or six yards long, although some saris were nine yards. Younger women generally wore brightly colored saris, but widows and other women in mourning wore only white ones. ===

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 by Ms. Spira Hey Quiearah! You chose three very pretty pictures of women in saris. What IS a sari? I bet you could find a youtube video about how to put one on (it can get a little complicated). Why do women wear saris? What other items of clothing will you find in India? I can't wait to see what questions you have about your topic!

Hi Quiearah, this is Danielle. I love the pictures that you presented on your page. I wonder why the woman wear those dots on the faces. Is it about them may or not being married? Or is it just for beauty?
