This hands-on workshop at a homestay in Tapovan, Rishikesh lets you try on the saree, India's iconic traditional garment. Instructor Anju introduces the history and cultural meaning of the saree and the accessories worn with it, then guides you step by step through three draping styles: an everyday style, an elegant party style and a traditional style that shows off the pallu. With small groups of up to 6 people, even first-timers can follow along easily. The workshop ends with a mini photo shoot of your finished saree look.
The saree has been worn by Indian women for thousands of years and is India's most iconic traditional garment. India is said to have more than 30 types of saree and more than 80 ways to drape one. Instructor Anju introduces different saree styles and the accessories worn with them, and explains why the saree is still an important part of Indian life today.
Practice an everyday style worn by countless Indian women, an elegant party style for special occasions and a traditional style that beautifully displays the pallu, the embroidered end of the saree. The instructor guides you step by step, showing how to make neat pleats and sharing practical tips for wearing a saree comfortably all day. By the end of the class, you can drape a saree on your own.
The workshop ends with a mini photo session to capture your finished saree look. Herbal tea or red Himalayan rhododendron flower juice is served during the experience. The activity ends back at the meeting point.
