Every saree has a story to tell.

A celebration of the intricate art of the Saree in vivid photographs, interwoven with personal remembrances, cultural history and attentive description of this time-honored artisanal practice.


The unique coffee table book, "Sarees - Stories in Six Yards", is a loving portrait of twenty-one exquisite sarees from across India, woven with reminiscences and interesting nuggets of information and richly embellished with vivid photographs exclusively curated for the book.


Excerpt from the introduction in the book:

Sarees are a topic of love for many. To me, they are way more than mere garments - they trigger memories of events and of people, they evoke emotions. They are an integral part not just of my physical memory, but also my emotional memory. My attempt in this book is to give a voice to these memories, share these stories, and while doing so, also share what I discovered about these sarees, their distinctive features and their interesting history.
