What is Lal Paar Sari
Lal Paar Sari is the traditional sari of Bengal, which the women there like to wear in worship and marriage. Especially when it comes to Durga Puja, women wear this saree. Usually, this saree is white and has a thick red border on its edges.
The special significance of color
The red color of the saree is considered a symbol of female power and the white color is considered a symbol of purity. Wearing it reflects dignity and modesty in women. These sarees are often made of cotton, taant, or silk. Due to this, they are very comfortable.
Method of wearing
Before wearing any saree, a petticoat and blouse are always worn. In such a situation, you should also wear a blouse and petticoat before wearing it. Now start wrapping the red saree on the waist from the right side. Keep the pallu at the back and wrap the rest of the saree completing a round around the waist. Now touch the saree well with the petticoat, so that it does not come out.
Now start making 5-7 inch wide pleats from the remaining cloth. While making pleats in the lower part of the saree, make sure that they are uniform. After making them, tuck these pleats inside the front of your petticoat. Make sure that they are uniform, otherwise the stomach will look fat.
In the traditional Bengali style, the pallu is wrapped upside down from the front and tied on the shoulder so that the part of the red border can be seen on the shoulder and back. Just attach the pallu of the saree in the same way and pin it so that it does not come off.
