Roli Books Saris of India: Tradition and Beyond

Indian woman wrapped in a saree. Amazing book on the most important costume of a woman from the subcontinent.

Wowww... I honestly don't have words to describe this dictionary of sarees. Hats off to the author, photographer, editor, publisher. People who likes to grab knowledge on Indian tradition and sarees, this is a must buy. There are 270+ pages (its a big book). This book has information about types of handloom sarees by state, weaving techniques, saree draping style images with instructions and lot more.. Even if you don't want to read entire book, that's fine. It's gonna be a great addition on coffee table. I would highly recommend to buy this book!

Beautifully composed book!!!! I would recommend this book for amateurs as well as sari aficionadios alike as it is well written and beautifully illustrated along with information about regions, weavers and sari stores.The author has done thorough research on the subject to give as much information to the readers as possible.Would have loved to see more images of beautiful saris in the book though it is already a voluminous tome!!!

Great book, full of lovely images. Very interesting on draping patterns.

This is not your standard sized book, but rather a coffee table display sized book. Absolutely beautiful. I hesitated to remove the plastic, as it arrived in such pristine condition. I'd been waiting for the price to come down, and this was well-worth the wait. Kudos to Rta Kapur Chishti for a comprehensive view of the spectacular saris of India.
