Plural of sari; long pieces of fabric worn as traditional garments by women in South Asia, wrapped around the body in various styles.
From Sanskrit 'śāṛī' meaning strip of cloth, spreading through Hindi and other South Asian languages. The word has been used for over 2,000 years as the standard term for this draped garment.
A single sari is one long piece of cloth—usually 5-9 yards—draped beautifully without buttons or zippers, and different regions of South Asia have their own signature ways of wrapping it, making it both a practical garment and an art form!
