We at Rathi Creations have new arrivals with the latest South Indian sarees! Our online collection features ready to ship South Indian saris of all types, designs and colors.

The saree has become a symbol of Indian culture featured in ancient art and literature. Indeed. Examples of the saree can be found as far back as the Indus Valley Civilization. Each region in India boasts of its own particular style of saree that distinguishes it from other areas.

Also, the different regions can have their own style of wearing sarees although the most common style is wrapped around the waist with the end draped over the shoulder. The garments can be handwoven with silk or other textile materials such as cotton. South India has been a leader in the production of silk sarees. There is a long standing tradition of weaving cooperatives in the South that has led to a great degree of variation in style and design. Silk is produced in areas like Bangalore, Mysore and Kolar.

Kanchipuram south silk saris are an example of a local South Indian silk weaving style. These saris are popular at weddings and come in a wide array of color patterns and textures. The Mysore crepe saree and the Coimbatore silk saree are other examples of renowned products from the South. The particular color of sarees can sometimes be used to tell something about the wearer. In certain regions, women from different castes and cultures may tend to wear sarees having a predominant color. In some cases, older married women wear different colors than unmarried women. However, new fashion design has placed some of these older traditions into the background.

Sarees continue as the most popular dress for specific types of occasions. The wedding saree is often distinguished by the use of special auspicious motifs and colors. More somber ceremonies like funerals would call for sarees of different color and a more austere appearance without the use of accompanying jewelry or other decoration. Again the customs for wearing sarees at different functions and gatherings can differ according to which region in India is involved. Sometimes customs can change from town to town and village to village.

Mentioned in the Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as in Buddhist and Jain literature, the saree is one of India’s fashion gifts to the world. A garment that is not only attractive to the eye, but one that carries with it a long history of culture and tradition. The many styles and motifs available mirror the rich diversity of peoples and customs found on the Indian subcontinent.
