December 21st is observed as World Saree Day to celebrate the beauty of the timeless garment. The tradition was started in 2009 by a group of Indian women who understood the value of saree and its socio-economic benefits. This art was something they wanted to share with people around the globe and celebrate. This helped take sarees to a global platform while also preserving the beauty and value of the same.
