Styles of Saree Draping

The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the waist, with the movable end of the drape to be worn over the shoulder, bare the stomach.[1] However, the sari can be draped in several unlike styles, though some styles do require a sari of a particular length or form. The French cultural anthropologist and sari researcher Chantal Boulanger categorized sari drapes in the following families:[12]
* Nivi – styles originally worn in Andhra Pradesh; what’s more the modern nivi, there is also the kaccha nivi, where the pleats are passed through the legs and tucked into the waist at the back. This allows free movement while covering the legs.
* Bengali and Oriya fashion.
* Gujarati – this style differ from the nivi only in the manner that the loose end is handled: in this style, the loose end is draped over the true shoulder rather than the left, and is also draped back-to-front rather than the other way around.
* Maharashtrian/Konkani/Kashta; this drape is very similar to that of the male Maharashtrian dhoti. The center of the sari (held lengthwise) is located at the center back, the ends are brought forward and tied securely, then the two ends are wrapped around the legs. When worn as a sari, an extra-long cloth is used and the ends are then passed up over the shoulders and the upper corpse. They are primarily worn by Brahmin women of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa.
* Dravidian – sari drapes shabby in Tamil Nadu; a lot of feature a pinkosu, or pleated rosette, at the waist.

* Madisaara style – this drape is typical of Iyengar/Iyer Brahmin ladies from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala
* Kodagu style – this drape is confined to ladies hailing from the Kodagu district of Karnataka. In this style, the pleats are fashioned in the rear, instead of the front. The loose end of the sari is draped the mistaken way over the right shoulder, and is pinned to the rest of the sari.
* Gobbe Seere – This style is worn by women in the Malnad or Sahyadri and central region of Karnataka. It is worn with 18 molas saree with three four rounds at the waist and a knot after crisscrossing over shoulders.
* Gond – sari styles start in many parts of Central India. The cloth is first draped over the left shoulder, then arranged to cover the body.
* Malayali style – the two-piece sari, or Mundum Neryathum, worn in Kerala. Usually made of unbleached cotton and decorated with gold or colored stripes and/or borders. Also the Set-saree, a sort of mundum neryathum.
* Tribal styles – often secured by tying them firmly across the chest, covering the breasts.

The nivi drape starts with one end of the sari tucked into the waistband of the petticoat, usually a simple miniskirt. The cloth is wrapped around the lower body once, then hand-gathered into even pleats just below the navel. The pleats are also tucked into the waistband of the petticoat.[13] They create a graceful, decorative effect which poets have
