“The origin of the drape or a garment similar to the sari can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization, which came into being during 2800–1800 BC in northwest India. The journey of sari began with cotton, which was first cultivated in the Indian subcontinent around the 5th millennium BC. The cultivation was followed by weaving of cotton which became big during the era, as weavers started using prevalent dyes like indigo, lac, red madder and turmeric to produce the drape used by women to hide their modesty.” (Source)

Saris are typically 6 or 9 yards in length. The preferred length of saris worn are usually determined by the occasion and cultural region.

Some origins say rani pink gets its name from the queen of the Indian board game carrom, which dates back to the 18th century and is said to be invented by India Maharajahs (princes). Others say its origins lie in the color of the flower, raat ki rani.
