Maharastrian style of draping saree:

In Maharashtra, a special saree called “maharastrian nauvari sari” is 9 yard long. It is draped without a petticoat.

1. Hold the saree in such a way that divides the saree in two parts – one of which is roughly a quarter of the saree hold it to your right hand and the rest of the saree is at the left hand.
2. Tie a tight knot using a bit of sari from both the sides. This knot will serve as a petticoat.
3. Now drape the longer part of the saree at the left side like a normal saree. One layer is wrapped around. Pallu is draped over the shoulder and pleats are tucked into the knotted part.
4. Pleat the smaller portion of the saree at the right side with loosely hangs. Make the pleats less wide. Hold the pleats together and take in between the legs and tuck them at behind. This can also be secured with a pin.
5. Cover the right shoulder with the pallu from behind.
