14 Most Famous Indian Sarees
Saree is a garment that is weaved with the threads of tradition and Indian culture. Today we do look at sarees as a style statement because they are fashionable garments. However, famous Indian sarees are more about tradition and culture than a mere fashion trend. There is a legacy behind every type of saree that is popular in India.
The famous Indian sarees come from the different regions of the country. Every state has its own variety of silk saree or cotton saree and sometimes even both. Each of these famous Indian sarees are crafted in a special way using different fabrics and embroidery techniques. There are predominantly two types of sarees in India depending on the fabric; silk sarees and cotton sarees. Within these 2 wide categories, there are numerous variations.
Almost every state or district in India has its own style of workmanship. For example, the weavers of Bengal are famous for their Zamdani work. In Aurangabad, the golden threadwork on Paithani sarees are famous. That is why, the famous sarees in India are almost impossible to count.
