What they do not tell you when you first drape a nauvari sari yourself is that if you do it even slightly incorrectly it will give you a wedgie, it will be uncomfortable, and the only way to fix it will be to contort yourself like a pretzel and stick your hand down your pants.

Hello, do you know anything about "barawari" (12 yard) sarees in Maharashtra? Balgandharva, the theatre actor who did female roles, would wear them and Kangana Ranaut wears them in a recent movie "Manikarnika". I think I've seen them in old Marathi movies?

To be perfectly honest the history of the 9 + yard sarees is a black box to me.  It has its origins in the kaccha style but the many elaborate drapes and why they came about I have little information (not for want of trying!).  Though I suspect some of the drapes are influenced by gowns esp where a part of the saree is left to trail  - I am guessing these are the barawaris you mention?

Malati Paranjape (1917 Bibby’s Annual). The nauvari (9 yard saree) is worn in several different ways in Maharashtra - this one is a casual drape and also covers the body upto the knees.

In 1940 Nehru wrote: I have been to Bombay so many times, but I have never seen the coming of the monsoon there. I had been told and I had read that this coming of the first rains was an event in Bombay; they came with pomp and circumstance and overwhelmed the city with their lavish gift. So I looked forward to the coming of the monsoon and became a watcher of the skies, waiting to spot the heralds that preceded the attack. A few showers came. Oh, that was nothing, I was told; the monsoon has yet to come. Heavier rains followed, but I ignored them and waited for some extraordinary happening. While I waited I learned from various people that the monsoon had definitely come and established itself. Where was the pomp and circumstance and glory of the attack, and the combat between cloud and land, and the surging and lashing sea? Like a thief in the night the monsoon had come to Bombay......Another illusion gone. [X]
