The sari is a symbol of grace and identity for women across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
A new exhibition at Tūhura Otago Museum showcases the sari's historical significance and its evolution.
The Six Yards Sisterhood: A Contemporary Exploration of the Sari has been crafted by Rekha Shailaj, a Senior Lecturer in Fashion at Otago Polytechnic and a Ph.D. candidate at Massey University's College of Creative Arts.
