-text=A '''[[sari]]''' or '''saree''' is the traditional female garment in [[India]], [[Bangladesh]], [[Nepal]], and [[Sri Lanka]]. A sari is a very long strip of unstitched [[cloth]], ranging from four to nine meters in length, which can be draped in various styles. The most common style is for the sari to be wrapped around the [[waist]], with one end then draped over the shoulder baring the midriff. The history of Indian clothing traces the sari back to the [[Indus valley civilization]], which flourished from 2800-1800 B.C.E. It is generally accepted that wrapped sari-like garments, shawls, and veils have been worn by Indian women in their current form for hundreds of years.}}
