Ah! the six yard wonder,
The indian saree,
i shudder to think without you
India wouldnot have been india....
Down the ages, since pre-historic times
to the present age of skirts and tights,
you are the one who has wrapped within itself
the soul of india and indianness....
And carried it safe and secure untill now
carrier of my civilization, hills and dales ,
rivers and shrubs ,
temples and minarets,
all you carry on your soft and tender body beautiful...
Ever since you saved chastity of a woman
from the rapacious eyes,
you have borne the burden of keeping alive
the dhama of deva bhumi
called Bharat...
I salute you, the six yard wonder,
The Indian Saree...
