The History and Origin of the Nauvari Sarees

According to historical records the women from the great Maratha Empire were the first to wear Nauvari Sarees. The choice was more out of adaptability and convenience rather than a fashion statement. Women from the empire were known to assist male warriors in times of war and this warranted the need for comfort and ease of movement during urgent times. This is where the Nauvari drape originated.
