Pan Indian Style of Sari

PAN - INDIAN STYLE OF SARI: Instead of combining western and Indian style, various Indians combined the elements of Hindu and Muslim dress in designing national dress.

  • The chapkan (a long buttoned coat) for men was designed.
  • In late 1870s, Jnanadanandini Devi, adopted the Parsi style of wearing the sari pinned to the left shoulder with a brooch, and worn with a blouse and shoes.
  • Attempts at devising a Pan-Indian style did not fully succeed, women of different regions wore different type of sari.

  • In the late 1870s, Jnanadanandini Devi, wife of Satyendranath Tagore adopted the Parsi style of wearing the sari.
  • This was adopted by women of Brahmo Samaj and came to be known as Brahmika sari.
  • This style gained acceptance among Maharashtrian and Uttar Pradesh Brahmos, as well as Non-Brahmos.
  • However, these attempts at devising a pan-India Style did not fully succeed. Women of Gujarat, Kodagu, Kerala and Assam continue to wear different types of sari.
