Complete Guide to Different Saree Draping Styles

By Manam Saree Styling Team

The saree is one of the most versatile garments in the world, representing elegance, culture, and personal expression. At Manam Arts Academy in Rajahmundry, we provide professional saree draping classes that help you master classical, regional, and contemporary styles for any event.

Classic Nivi Style Saree Draping

The Nivi style is the most popular draping method across India. Originating in Andhra Pradesh, it features neat front pleats tucked into the waistband and the pallu flowing elegantly over the left shoulder. It forms the baseline technique taught in our professional saree draping courses.

Elegant Bengali and Gujarati Styles

Regional styles add a unique cultural flare. The Bengali drape is box-pleated with no lower pleats, featuring a double key-ring knot on the pallu. The Gujarati drape (seedha pallu) brings the decorated pallu over the right shoulder from back to front, highlighting heavy borders. We cover both in detail, adjusting for different fabrics.

Modern Fusion: Lehenga & Dhoti Styles

For parties and modern events, fusion drapes like the Lehenga style (creating the illusion of a skirt) and the Dhoti drape (featuring comfortable trouser-like folds) are highly sought after. They offer a stylish silhouette while ensuring comfortable movement.
