Lugade


A "Lugade" is a nine yard Maratha sari. This nine yard sari is generally worn by elderly Hindu women and is sometimes referred to as Nauvaree in Marathi. It is usually between forty-two and forty-five inches in width, and has two lengthwise borders called kanth or kinar. It also has two breadthwise borders called padar, of which one is more decorated than the other.

The lugade is usually worn by tucking pleats into the underskirt at the back-center while the decorated end (padar) is thrown over the left shoulder. It is allowed to hang from the waist straight down and around like a skirt. Sometimes, this end is drawn over the bosom and back over the head.
