A saree (or sari) is a traditional draped garment from the Indian subcontinent, consisting of a long, unstitched piece of fabric (typically 5-9 yards) wrapped around the body, often with one end draped over the shoulder, paired with a blouse (choli) and petticoat. It's a versatile garment made from various fabrics like silk, cotton, or georgette, with regional variations (like Banarasi, Kanjeevaram, Jamdani) and styles, symbolizing cultural elegance and pride.
