To wear in Bengali style, just wrap the pallu two times around your body. There should be two broad pleats in the front.

2. Traditional Kerala Saree Draping

Look sober and sophisticated with the Kerala saree draping style! In one method, you can get a broad pleat in the front that displays the beauty of your sari border. Another way is to drape the sari in such a way that the pallu drapes over the blouse, in an off-shoulder style. With the help of the knot, the pallu is left behind the waist and it does not show up in the front look. This traditional draping method should be tried with decorative borders on a plain background.

3. Charming Gujrati Saree Draping

Get pure and ethnic looks with Gujrati sari draping style! This style is also known as the 'Seedha pallu' style. The main part of this style is that the pallu spreads fabulously on the front with plenty of thin pleats. Also, unlike other draping styles, this method involves the pallu coming over the right shoulder in the front. The left edge of the pallu is tucked in a petticoat at the back. For a stunning look, you should choose a sari that has got beautiful work on the pallu.

4. Traditional Maharashtrian sari Draping

Many among us are well aware of the very traditional and hot Maharashtrian sari style! It is one of the favorite styles of Bollywood divas.
