Btw, I had just trekked the Tadiandamol Peak just before I learnt how to drape this saree, so basically I have absolutely no makeup in this photo.

If you're from India, you might recognize the drape from the legendary 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' production by Doordarshan where a Coorgi woman is shown wearing a saree with this drape (at 3:01 mins)! Yeah, the pleats of the saree are on the back! The location is ofcourse Magnolia Resort in Coorg and the photography is by Mr.Prasanth from there!

I too wanted to wear a coorgi saree when I was in coorg as I have been fascinated by it since my childhood days. However, the closest I got to was getting tips from coorgi women on how they manage the drape on day to today basis
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see you wearing this in spite of our urbanized society.
ReplyDeleteI've never worn a saree before. I also don't think I'd be able to wear one with such grace and poise as you do. That Coorgi saree looks good on you. And you look amazing even without make-up! -- Maria Teresa Figuerres
ReplyDeleteI really love India's traditional clothing. I like that you wear it on a daily basis and not just on special occasions. It really shows that you are proud of your culture and heritage. Since PH is somewhat Westernized, we often wear normal clothing. Would love to have some tradition back :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the pictures and places are amazing, But most of all, your clothes I always wanted to own that traditional clothing like that. I think they are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors, they're so rich and luxurious looking! I like that you are sharing your beautiful traditional clothing to us all on your site. (I love learning new things everyday!)
ReplyDeleteI like how vibrant the color is and the gold tinge is a nice touch. It looks good on you. I don't think I will ever have a need to wear a coorgi but I think it would be fun to wear one.
ReplyDeleteWow! nice color combination and material. I have a saree too, only wear it once a while.
