Varanasi, India

• One of the oldest continuously civilized cities in the world (if not THE oldest)

The Indian Sari

• Is THE oldest continuously worn garment in the world
• Requires nine (9) yards of fabric to comfortably walk
• It’s hygienic in that there is no stitching, therefore it is easier to launder 

There’s an old saying  “When in Rome do as the Romans Do”. 

• I wear a sari to embrace Indian culture
• I wore a sari because it is more comfortable in the Varanasi heat
• Indian women nodded in approval upon seeing a white woman in a Sari 

I respect Indian culture.  I respect their history. I respect their choice to continuously wear the garment.
