Sambalpur is a place of tradition and values in western orissa
Odisha state consists of different traditions and people. All our districts have some uniqueness and languages.
Sambalpur is one of the district where people love each other and love to spend time with loved ones during all festivals.
We have visited One of the famous maa temple samaleswari on the back of river mahanadi. People of western odisha make groups during nuakhai which is the biggest festival in this region.
We got surprised to see still most of the women wear sarees to visit temples and festivals. These people love to speak their language where ever they go and want sambalpuri clothes in any of their fairs wherever they may be in this world.

How to Choose Your Saree from the Collection of Cheap Indian Sarees
Sarees
are of different types, both in terms of fabric and price range. Before the
option of online shopping, when there were only brick and stone made stores of
sarees, we had a concept that cheap Indian sarees are of inferior quality and
as the price goes high, quality gets better. So, it was difficult to make a
choice when our budget was low because it meant a huge compromise on quality of
the product. And once or twice in a year, there were sale and discounts, which
were introduced only after retail chains came into being. It gave us a little
chance to buy sarees for comparatively low price. But things changed
dramatically over the past decade when online shopping took the centre stage.
Today,
there are hundreds and thousands of online stores that sell clothes- both
Indian and western. This gave us a golden opportunity to buy quality sarees for
quite a reasonable price. And the meaning of buying cheap Indian sarees
suddenly changed. Where it previously meant buying low quality sarees, now it
means striking a good deal or some website is offering really good deals. While
choosing your saree from the collection of cheap Indian sarees in your nearby
store can really be a daunting task because only preference you can give is its
appearance, making the same choice in an online store is relatively easier. You
have more options and none of them would be your compromise in terms of
quality.
Indian Sarees available with cheap price |
Sarees
and other dresses bought from online stores are easy on pocket because cost
incurred to the company is much lower. First of all, there is no establishment
charge as the whole set up is virtual in most of the cases. Secondly, there is
no inventory, so there are no maintenance either. Even the employee cost is
almost half. This gives them ample room to lower down the cost of sarees even
after maintaining the same profit margin. Thus, when you buy cheap Indian sarees, you get a high quality product at the same time.
However,
you need to pay attention in certain matters. For example, silk is one fabric
where you can easily get duped. Don't get fooled if you are offered a silk
saree for a throw away price. Often these are faux or artificial silk which
have synthetic thread woven along with very few original silk threads. These
are real cheap Indian sarees. So, when buying silk sarees, do not let the price
flatter you. Safe bait is to buy from co operatives or other government owned
organizations where you might not get any discount but you can be sure of the
quality.
Cheap cotton sarees are very comfortable though they tend to get soft after
consecutive washes. But if you really have to buy cheap Indian sarees, go for
pure cotton or synthetic. Refrain from the ones that claim to offer georgette,
chiffon or crepe for dirt cheap price. But you can always get faux georgette or
simply synthetic sarees with a real cheap price tag.
To
strike best deals, watch out for the discounts offered in various festive
seasons. There are coupon codes applicable for buying stuffs over a particular
base price. Once you cross the mark, your amount gets additional discount as
high as 50%. In order to maximize the business, all the competitors offer such
deals. So keep close watch on these offers. Such deals are offered every two to
three months, especially before Durga Puja, Diwali, Christmas, and Holi. During
this time of the year, you pay price of cheap Indian sarees while you actually
buy good, elegant looking high quality sarees.

How to Find Which Sarees are Skin Friendly- Bollywood Designer Sarees or Handloom Sarees
In general, when synthetic materials
brush against sensitive skin, they cause rashes and irritation. So, if we look
at that way Bollywood sarees that are mostly found in fabrics like georgette or
other synthetic materials, can be said to be the one that are least skin
friendly while sarees made of natural fibres like silk and cotton are friendly
on skin, thus handloom sarees can be said to be skin friendly. But does that mean
if you have sensitive skin, you cannot wear Bollywood designer sarees? Now,
that would be unfair. So, what is the solution? In fashion industry there is
always a way out for those who want to be in style.
There are organizations that manufacture
fabrics that are not sensitive to the skin. They use fabrics like chiffon and
silk that are soft on skin. Use of kundan, zari work, pearl and other semi
precious stones make the sarees alluring to everyone. Bollywood designer sarees
that you often notice your favourite stars sporting can be bought from various
sites at quite an affordable price. Manufacturers use the same designs and
patterns on the fabrics that are friendly on skin. There are specialized artisans
and weavers working under strict supervision so that utmost care is taken in order
to ensure that the saree you wear is comfortable to your skin. Furthermore these
fabrics as well as finished products go through various phases of quality tests
so that they qualify on all the parameters and only after achieving the desired
results, they hit the shelves, aisles and galleries of stores and online
shops. Other qualities of these sarees
are that they are anti-wrinkle and do not bleed colours- two qualities that we
always look forward to in any clothing.
Indian Handloom Silk available Online |
There is no reason to think that
since the fabric is different, the Bollywood designer sarees in them would be a
compromise on any part. These sarees are as beautiful, gorgeous and stylish as
the original one. Rather, some of these sarees can be in rough fabrics which
are not gentle even to the skin of women who do not necessarily have sensitive
skin. That is way, skin friendly sarees are improvised versions where you not
only get the style but comfort as well. And when you drape these sarees with
designer blouse and matching accessories, you will undoubtedly be the head
turner in every party and get together.
Now that you know it is quite
possible, rather easily possible, to get skin friendly Bollywood designer
sarees, you need to know how to find them. You can ask your regular apparel
store for these fabrics. If you are lucky, you can find them in your locality.
If not, then you can enquire leading saree shops with enormous stock. If not,
look for them online. You will definitely get Bollywood designer sarees that
won't be harsh against your skin. This means no longer restricting yourself to
handloom silk and cotton sarees only because you have sensitive skin. It is
quite unfortunate, that manufacturers ignore this basic fact that a particular
skin type can keep a customer base away from their products. However,
intelligent ones have found out the niche and doing their part to stay long and
strong in the industry and skin friendly Bollywood designer sarees are just an
example. So, if you were identified with handloom sarees, it is time you break
away from that stereotype. You will love every bit of yourself and enjoy all
the attention. Be a fashionista this season with these skin friendly sarees.
Get your wardrobe a mega make over with these designer sarees.

How to keep fashionable and trendy sari for your daughter for years?
For any Indian woman, there is
nothing like a beautiful saree that she had worn in various special occasions
in her life. A saree can conjure up a lot of nice memories; they can also give
rise to many more new ones. Hence it is no wonder that many women want to pass
on their best sarees to their daughters. However, to do so, it is of absolute
importance to maintain sarees in the right manner so that their glamour remains
intact even after many years. Maintaining sarees for a long time can be a
tricky thing, particularly for those who are not well aware of how to do so and
tend to keep a saree in the wardrobe in the same way that they would do with
any other piece of clothing.
There have been many times when
women have experienced the surprise of seeing a saree ruined due to lack of
maintenance. It is not just sufficient to keep a saree in a trunk on the back
of a room after wearing it a few times; every type of saree comes with its very
own maintenance and preservation techniques. This article will tell you how to
maintain a fashionable and trendy sari so that it is in the best condition even
after several years.
Preserving cotton sarees
Cotton sarees are some of the
most widely worn garments in India, due to the fact that they are extremely
comfortable and versatile. Read on to know about how to preserve them for long
durations of time.
- Dark shaded cotton sarees tend to lose color when they are washed. Hence make sure that you do not wash two different sarees together. The cotton sarees should always be washed separately on cold water.
- Avoid soaking your favorite cotton saree in the water for long periods as this will ruin it permanently.
- Dry your cotton sarees in shade and avoid the sun altogether.
- Use starch to retain the look and feel of your cotton sarees. This would help in maintaining their shine as if they are brand new.

Preserving silk sarees
Silk sarees are often a matter of
pride for a woman. Hence it is very important to preserve their looks for many
years to come. Have a look at the different ways in which you can keep the look
of a silk saree intact.
- Avoid using soap while cleaning a silk saree at the very beginning. Instead, soak the saree in salt water of medium temperature for about 20 to 30 minutes; then rinse the saree with cold water. Use plain water to wash it a few times and then clean it by using mild detergent quickly. Start with the pallu and then the border; then gradually move onto the main body. Do not scrub with a brush or bundle it. Once washed, dry the saree by hanging it.
- If you have got stains in your silk saree, then make use of lime juice to remove them. Simply add some lime juice to water and then use it to remove the stains from the silk sarees. Make sure that you remove the lime water completely just after you are done as it tends to fade the coloring of the saree. In case you are dealing with a stubborn stain, then you can soak that particular spot with petrol and gently scrub it with a soft cloth or a brush.
- When it comes to ironing your silk saree, the best time to do so is when the saree is still somewhat damp.
- Store a silk saree in a box or closet away from light and dust. However, do not use a plastic pouch for storing it as it needs breathing space.

Women in Saree- Perfect Representation of Indian Beauty
This is
an age old debate- whether it can be said that Indian women look best in saree
or should we leave it on individual perspectives. Saree is our national attire
and it is long forgotten story where it denoted Indian tradition. With
introduction of so many wow factors in this nine yard long clothing, entire
community of Indian beauty admits hands down that you can look gorgeous,
ethereal, elegant and hot in saree, all depending on the fact that how you wear
and carry it. Though there are no hard and fast rules to complete your look but
to think of saree as a complete package can be a mistake. Read on to know how
and why saree represents the Indian beauty perfectly.
First of
all, saree has always been a magic clothing for the western beauties. The
legendary Elizabeth Taylor was asked what wonders you, to which she had replied
“Indian women. A woman of barely 1.6 meters drapes a cloth piece of 5.5 meters
and yet to all their chores without any fuss”. But this is an old story. The
latest version is that from Michelle Obama to Julia Roberts and Anna Kournikova
to Elizabeth Hurley, every body is seen sporting a saree in some or the other
photographs. Saree is popular now. India is a hot topic and everything related
to India is hot. So, when Indian beauty is thought of, a picture of saree clad
woman comes before their eyes.
Indian
designers have gone global. Indian stars are invited in different international
film festivals and red carpet occasions world wide. In these circumstances,
questions come up whether to appreciate gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in a
pretty gown or Deepika Padukone who looked stunning in an elegant saree stood
out in the crowd of gown clad women in Cannes. Both are surely best possible
examples of Indian beauty. But experts say when you attend an event in a place
like Cannes, it is better to showcase the best of India. Thus, a stylishly
draped elegant saree with a designer blouse is the hit look.
Indian Beauty in Saree |
Also, Indian
women have, genetically, curvaceous body in general. And saree is that outfit
which can highlight your best features while hiding the hideous ones. If you
are skinny, with the choice of fabric you can have a fuller body. If you are
plump, you look slim in georgette or chiffon sarees. Unlike any other dress style, saree has a
plethora of options in terms of designs, fabric, motifs and what not. Blouses
bring more dramatic effect to the look of an Indian beauty in a saree. A simple
georgette saree with printed three quarter sleeved blouse is a household look
while a gorgeous sequinned saree in net with a sleeveless blouse is perfect for
a party. Spaghetti strapped, halter neck, turtle neck or backless blouses add
another dimension to your look. Blouse is one accessory which can give a new
look to your saree. Often the same blouse is used for a number of sarees but
when you have exclusive designer blouses, even if you you can use them with the
saree, it will give a new look. It is this versatility of sarees as a package
which is so appreciated by Indian beauty and saree never loses its sheen.
Saree is
something that a woman receives from mother, grandmother, great grandmother, or
in-laws as a legacy. Sarees as well as the draping style is an integral part of
a girl's upbringing to adulthood. Due to lack of practice there can be certain
discomfort at the initial level but in no time she learns it. After we have
seen our epitome of Indian beauty- the women at home, in this nine yard long
piece of clothing draped around their slender bodies and toiling hard all day.

Cheap Silk Sarees for Regular Use Available Online
For
regular wear, cotton sarees are most comfortable ones but they get soft and
crushed after first use and you cannot wear it again without starch and
ironing. It is difficult to maintain cotton sarees in rainy season too as they
take long time to dry and starch does not come into full action in absence of
strong sun. Wearing silk is a good option but for that you need cheap silk sarees. Since we keep silk sarees for occasional usage, they are usually the
most expensive sarees of our wardrobes. So, for regular use we need silk sarees
but cheap one. Is that possible to get cheap sarees in silk because in most of
the cases we get art silk where synthetic threads dominate the yarn.
When we
say sarees for regular use, it does not mean you are wearing it in home as
domestic wears. It means wearing it more often. There are professions where you
are expected to wear Indian ethnic dresses like teachers and professors. Cotton
is undoubtedly the best option but maintaining it gets quite difficult. You
don't wash your silk that often, so you can wear it multiple times before it
goes for washing. And you look elegant at the same time. Cheap silk sarees
prove really helpful in these circumstances.
Indian silk sarees with cheap price available online |
If you
don't have the right identification of silk, you can be duped easily. You can
visit reliable stores that guarantee you the quality of sarees. Just because
you have low budget, do not go to any store in any market. Or the best place is
to visit websites because now cheap silk sarees are available online. Art or
faux silk have another dedicated section. You can even get these artificial
silks in different range. But when you need original silk sarees you will get
them at a reasonable price. This is due to several reasons like lack of
inventory cost, low maintenance cost, low man power cost etc. And above all,
there are some or the other discounts. Whatever be the reason, you can get
cheap silk sarees online without worrying about the quality.
However,
to get the best quality within the price range, you must visit reliable
websites. These days, fashion websites are emerging like mushrooms.
Unfortunately, many users have complained of fraudulent transactions where item
delivered is not same as the item ordered, or some discrepancy regarding the
payment. It is advisable to do business with the sites that are popular among
the users. You can also visit the sites of renowned stores but it is less
likely to get cheap silk sarees in these stores due to obvious reasons.
Another way
of getting silk sarees at nominal price is buying from the weavers themselves.
This way you cut the cost of middle management, that is, the merchants. You
will be surprised to see how little profit these weavers earn on every saree.
If you happen to visit Kanchipuram or Murshidabad, you can buy silk sarees at
really cheap price. Dodging the stores and merchants can help you get the
discounted price. But this is easier said than done. Cheap silk sarees can be
bought from the whole sellers too but there you have to buy in bulk, which may
not be possible always. Having judged all pros and cons, it can be said that it
is better to buy them online. You get good quality at a better price. If you
are not happy with the product, you can return it too and a replacement will be
sent. Give it a try once and you will know why experts say so.

Premium Wear Sarees for High Class Indian Ladies now Online
Perfect
classy Indian look of a lady means one draped in a saree. It is true that this
is such an elegant outfit that no matter what fabric you wear, if you can carry
it off gracefully, class will come as an additional package. But there are
certain occasions where you need premium wear sarees to represent the section
of the society you belong to. Any saree in elegant fabric and designs can be
classy but high class Indian women prefer some particular fabric that are
premium, designer and often expensive as well. Till last few decades, these
sarees were found in different expensive stores and boutiques, but times have
changed now, especially for the retail business. Premium wear sarees for high
class Indian women are now online. Browse through the collection and place the
order- this is all you need to do when you can afford them.
There
are different factors that make a saree premium like fabric, pattern, designs,
artwork and availability. For example a cotton saree cannot be said a premium
one but when there are some exclusive artwork done on it or some other fabric
like jute or silk threads are woven in it, they become a premium one.
Similarly, a plain silk or georgette saree can be expensive but not premium if
not the patterns and designs made on them are done by machines. Same with
Jamdani sarees of West Bengal where the handmade ones are one of the most
sought after premium wear sarees. Kanchipuram silk, designer georgette and
chiffon etc are some of the examples. Due to the exclusive designs, the
availability of these sarees are limited, which make them premium. Handmade
sarees and designs are really expensive because in most of the cases these are
dying art and so number of craftsmen deft in this art are decreasing. At the
same time, heavily worked zardousi saree in georgette are also expensive
because of the time, effort and time invested in one such piece. These are
exclusive and premium wear sarees.
Indian traditional patachitra sarees online |
In every
city and town, there used to be a locality or market, which was famous for
these exclusive sarees. We were told of particular shops that keep the best of
the lot. There were some stores that sell only reasonably priced sarees. But
online retail has changed the entire picture. You can get sarees from the price
range of Rs 200 to Rs 2,00,000 in one website and there are hundreds of such
sites. It is true that you will not get premium wear sarees for Rs 200 but with
several schemes and discounts, you can bag one for Rs 1000 at least. Premium
sarees does not always mean unaffordable for everyone. Stock clearance, festive
season and other discounts can often turn out to be fortunate enough to strike
such an unexpected deal. There is no upper limit of this price range. In these
online stores, you will find Bollywood sarees as well where you can find your
favourite stars sporting different designer sarees that are available for sale.
Upper
strata of the Indian society has fetish for designer sarees. Designers like
Ritu Kumar, Satya Paul, Sabyasachi and others have redefined the concept of
sarees among urban women and have made them crazy about this outfit. You can
get their as well as different upcoming and established designers' collections
in these online stores. Not much discount can be obtained for the authentic
designs, thus they remain exclusive as premium wear sarees for high class
Indian women. But barring them, almost the entire collection of a website can
be offered on a discount. Keep your eyes open for such opportunity where you
can buy premium wear sarees much like high class Indian women.

Different ways we can make new and clean India (Sachho Bharat) by the help of handloom and handicrafts
Ever since the earliest
beginnings, the handlooms and handicrafts industry in India has been an
essential part of this country’s culture. While the word ‘industry’ was only
applied to it much later on, the arts of handlooms and handicrafts developed
since the earliest days in Indian history along with its religious and social
fabric. Over the years, different types of handicraft items and handloom
clothing materials have evolved that has appealed buyers both in this country
and abroad. The practices of making handicrafts and handlooms have slowly and
gradually evolved into organized trades, although records of India maintaining
trading relations with other countries and exporting handloom fabrics and
handicrafts have been found in ancient documents. In the last century or so,
India has developed strong trading relations with various countries in Europe,
Australia, New Zealand, USA, certain parts of Africa and many other regions of
Asia, offering them high quality handloom fabrics and beautifully made handicrafts.
These trading relations that
India has with other countries have benefited India in a great way by bringing
in large sums of revenue. This has not only helped India to be more self
reliant but also made it possible for millions of people in this country to
depend on something else apart from agriculture to earn their daily livelihood.
The handloom sarees and other garments that are produced in India are of really
top notch quality and the same can be said of the handicrafts that reflect the
beliefs and traditions of different parts of this country in which they
originate. It is therefore only natural that they will have great demand in
foreign markets. Nevertheless, in the recent times the handicraft and handloom
industry in India has faced stiff competition from various other countries such
as China and Japan when it comes to exporting these goods to foreign countries.
The other thing that has made it difficult for people within the handloom and
handicraft industry is the increasing taxes on raw materials that they make use
of for producing the finished goods.
Build new and clean India |
It is in such regards that many
politicians and social workers have now come forward to incite the local and
national government bodies to reduce taxes on the raw materials so that the
people involved in the handicraft and handloom industry find it easier to
expand their businesses. The government bodies are also taking strategic
measures so that the handloom and handicrafts industries can benefit from them.
Steps are being taken so that there is growth in annual exports in foreign
lands. Even social media and online shopping sites are coming forward to
promote handlooms and handicrafts that will eventually benefit the country.
Handlooms and handicrafts are
also going to play a crucial role in making Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Sachho
Bharat” campaign a grand success. The main goal of the “Sachho Bharat” campaign
is to create a clean, pollution-free India within 2nd October 2019 which is the
150th birthday anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The new and clean India (Sachho
Bharat) campaign is also going to incite a strong fervor of nationalism and
independence among Indians. Not only it is going to educate people about the
importance of sanitation activities but it is also going to inculcate the habit
of taking responsibility and doing one’s own part. The handlooms and
handicrafts of India have been following the same philosophy for hundreds of
years. They have helped the people in India to create their own clothes and
their own utilitarian items and imbibe in them a strong sense of self reliance.
Such factors are going to increase the importance of handicrafts and handlooms
in the coming months as a vehicle of social change.

Confusion of Buyers while Purchasing Old Age Sarees Online for Gift
Buying
sarees as gift itself is quite confusing because you can never be sure that the
recipient would like it or not. And the magnitude of confusion increases when
you are asked to buy old age sarees online for gift. There are so many related
problems. Let us discuss them and think of the work around to deal with them.
When you
are buying saree for some aged woman, first thing that comes to mind is its
colour. When you are buying it from your known store, it is easy but problem
arises when you intend to buy these old age sarees online to be given as gift.
The resolution of screen varies from a computer to another. A lot of filters
are used while taking the pictures and handiworks are done using different
software to give the sarees an appeal. If a saree does not look good, why will
you buy it? So, naturally colour of the saree you see in the portal may vary
from the actual one. A simple logic will help you. If you are buying a light
coloured saree like beige, light mustard, off white or ivory, go for its
lightest shade. So, even if it is not same in actual, it has to be one to two
shades darker, not more than that.
Old age sarees online for sending gift |
Fabric
is another factor that confuses you to no end when you buy old age sarees
online. You must have seen her wearing sarees. What kinds of sarees are they?
In most of the cases, ageing women prefer wearing sophisticated cotton, silk,
handloom etc kind of sarees, that do not have bling and are easy to manage. It
does not necessarily be mono coloured, but the colour combination has to be
elegant. Often they feel discomfort with too much bright sarees. It is advised
not to go by what it is seen in movies and television serials. You will rarely
come across a lady in her late 60s in bright red brocade saree. Off white
temple bordered Odisha handloom, tussar, Kerala cotton, Mysore silk and elegant
looking soft coloured Kanchipuram silk can be a wonderful gift.
Another
matter of concern that may come up while buying old age sarees online is the
returning policy. If, unfortunately, the recipient does not like your gift, has
a similar piece or gets a damaged one, how would the old woman sort it out. It
is very simple. Almost all the online retail stores offer free return policy.
All you need to do is inform them of the same and it will be their
responsibility to pick it up, ship and get you a fresh piece, all for free.
Often
confusion arises regarding dispatch of the gift. While placing order for old
age sarees online, you calculate the estimated date of delivery. But what if
you get to know that the recipient lady would not be at home on that day or has
some prior commitment. Way out is easier than buying saree and send it through
courier because even then the problem remains. The online saree stores have
live chat or free customer care number available at least 12 hours a day, if
not 24X7. All you need to contact one of the executives and let them know of
the problem. Delivery would be rescheduled accordingly.
Now you
know buying old age sarees online is not really that difficult. There are some
misconceptions and ignorance regarding online shopping. Once that is cleared
and you are sure what exactly are you looking for, the task becomes easy like
never before. So, go ahead and pick an elegant and sober saree in comfortable
fabric. Your loved one will love you even more.

Sambalpuri Saree is Top Among Premium Party Wear for Political Women Leaders
Today, Sambalpuri saree is the epitome of
elegance and power. These sarees were the staple outfit for the locals and used
to be the livelihood of many villages near Sambalpur. But something happened.
It started towards the end of the decade of 70s of the last century when former
Prime Minister Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi started making public appearances in integral
this variety of sarees. Today, it is a premium party wear for the political
women leaders but it was Mrs. Indira Gandhi who gave it such a prominent
position in the cupboard of important women of politics.
Sambalpuri sarees, due to their texture and
elegant designs have become synonymous with the wardrobe of women politicians.
It is almost like a dress code for them. Just think of a light colored
Sambalpuri saree with contrasting border, and you will visualize Mrs Gandhi
coming out of the Parliament. The tradition is still on. Though the silk Sambalpuri sarees are indeed premium party wear, you will find the cotton
varieties in different combinations and designs draped around important women
like Sushma Swaraj, Ambika Soni, Sheila Dixit and of course Sonia Gandhi. Even
Mamata Banerjee who is known for her simplistic attire can be spotted in modest
Sambalpuri sarees when attending important events.
Elegant designs of Sambalpuri Sarees Online |
There is definitely no thumb rule set for
these women politicians to choose Sambalpuri sarees as their political
manifesto of dressing but by some unwritten law, these sarees have become an
integral part of their wardrobe- from premium party wear to modest public
appearances. You will also find most of the Doordarshan anchors or newsreaders
sporting these sarees. These sarees are so elegant and sophisticated that when
draped elegantly it presents a very pleasant and professional image- exactly
what is expected from a political leader.
A political leader has to travel a lot. Hard
work, long journeys, walks, public speeches, meetings etc are integral part of
their everyday lives. As national clothing, they are expected to wear sarees in
these events and personally they want one which is comfortable to carry, should
not be bling and does not get creased even after a hectic day. The Sambalpuri
sarees just fit the bill most aptly. The fabric is cotton or silk, thread work
is used for adornment, no sequins or other shining materials are used. A cotton
Sambalpuri saree can be their premium party wear and at the same time it can
make them one with the ordinary people too. As political figures, we just
cannot imagine them in a sequined designer saree with heavy zardousi work. And
the Sambalpuri saree is perfect for their image.
There is a glow of luster in these sarees.
The most commonly used motifs here are shells, fish, wheel, and flower. The
borders in contrasting colors and heavily worked pallu are the trademark
designs of Sambalpuri sarees. Due to their simplistic and traditional approach
and look, it is a hot favorite of women politicians in India and have earned
their position as premium party wear. It has a very earthly look and thus calls
for even more minimalistic accessories to team it up. Jewelries made of
terracotta, silver, oxidized metal or flowers go best with such a saree. For a
more traditional occasion like wedding, it can be paired with light gold
jewelries as well. Flat flip-flops to high heels- you can choose footwear
according to the occasion. Women politicians on a rural trip or rally prefer
platforms or low heel sandals but can wear the same saree with a high heel when
attending a formal party. It is due to this versatility, Sambalpuri sarees have
continued to be a favorite part of the wardrobe of political women leaders in
India- both as a premium party wear and a regular outfit.

Why Indian Women Should Drape Saree in Home?
Saree is
the most worn outfit in India and probably the most celebrated one in South
Asia. There are certain parts in India where women wear saree all the time
while in almost rest of whole India loves wearing it occasionally. It is a
graceful clothing and Indian women know very well how to look best in it. There
was a time in not-so-recent past, when young women did not like wearing sarees
and chose salwar suit and western wears. Though salwar suits, kurta or kurti
with leggings are still preferred by many as they are easy to carry and does
not need draping, but in no time sarees have got back their about-to-lose glory
as well. The epitome wear of Indian women has reached the international
diaspora holding hands of different designers who have given the sarees a
permanent position in the world's fashion map.
Indian
women, who are little aged, or in interior parts of the country wear it all the
time. Whether it is some outdoor errand or household work, they wear sarees.
Some do so with their choice as they love wearing saree, some consider it is
quite natural to wear it and some are forced to as many households do not allow
grown up girls to wear anything other than sarees, especially when they are
married. But everything said and done, it is a fact that if you are able to
drape it properly, saree can be as comfortable as anything else.
Indian Women love to wear sarees |
Except
for the northern India, in most of the regions, temperature remains well above
30 degrees Celsius. Loose fitted clothings are ideal for this climate. At the
same time, fabric of the clothing does matter. Jeans and other synthetic fabric
are uncomfortable. This is why Indian women should drape saree in home. If you
have chosen the right fabric and know to drape it properly, you will feel
completely comfortable in it as you are in your pyjamas. The elder women in the
families wear it all the time and never face any hassles in carrying or
maintaining sarees.
Everyone,
in India or abroad, will agree that women of Indian origin look best in sarees
no matter what and where they are or what fabric they use. It is not because of
any kind of bias towards this outfit but for the fact that it suits best them
due to their physique. The body structure of Indian women are in their genes and
there would be rarely any woman who would not look good in it. And with so many
varieties in it, every woman has a fabric to flatter her physique. Cotton and
handloom for thin, silk and chiffon for plump while heavily worked sarees for
tall and slim women are recommended. And there are many more saree fabrics that
can be chosen as per your body type.
Lastly,
it can be said that everything depends on habit. Elder women wear it all the
while and carry confidently because they have been doing so and in most of the
case, they knew that there is no other option than wearing a saree. But with
time they were conditioned to. If your family traditions suggest you should
drape saree in home, you can do it. Walking and running in tight fitting jeans
of rough fabric is difficult than loosely fit soft fabric sarees. Don't drape
it with any mind block of discomfort and you can wear it with same confidence
that your mother or aunt does. When you can afford to look your best in home,
why leave this opportunity! So flaunt your femininity by wearing saree at home.
