    Well done Ladies, U look gorgeous and Rakesh u look cool in ur "Punjabi Munda" Avatar!!!!!

    Some interesting facts about Sarees-

    Red sarees represent valor. Many brides don red sarees because of the emotional, sexual and fertility related implications of this color.

    Yellow sarees are regarded as the color of religion. New mothers will wear a yellow sari for seven days after the birth of their child. Brides and grooms are usually covered in a yellow paste on the first day of their wedding.

    Paisley sarees are a symbol of fertility.

    Elephant sarees represent water, fertility and royalty.

    Parrot sarees are a symbol of courtship and passion.

    Fish sarees represent fertility and an abundance of food and wealth. Not surprisingly, many people don these sarees in coastal regions.

    Conch sarees symbolize warriors. Conchs are a symbol of God in sound. During wartime, each warrior had his own specific conch.

    Through the ages, with British influence, sarees came to included petticoats and blouses. Although more modernized, many Hindu still use saris in rituals and special occasions. Emblazoned with a variety of patterns, fabrics and designs, sarees now are worn more as a beautiful fashion.
