The saree run

in #happy6 years ago

Women are the epitome of strength and determination. If a woman determines to achieve something then there is absolutely no force in this universe that can keep her away from achieving it. Clothes, circumstances and physical constraints are no barriers.

Saree is an traditional attire in India which women wear with pride. It makes us look beautiful and elegant. While the new generation would dismiss saree as a fussy piece of clothing that would hamper the free movement, I would like to take you back to history where Rani Laxmibai, Kittur Rani Chennamma with others fought against the British army to free India wearing a saree.

Saree can be draped in various ways according to the tasks you are doing. Women, now see saree as a tradition dress that could be worn only during traditional ceremonies and my city just wanted to help people by educating them about the saree. Wearing saree would make you no less strong than the women wearing track pants.

Mangaluru held the iconic saree run and I must say it was a huge success. Women wearing colourful saree didn't mind stepping out in rains to participate in this mini marathon like run. It was much like an all womens meet and participants really had fun talking about sarees and accessories that could match with saree. I am now waiting for the organisers to host a lungis run for our boys. 👍

It is time that we embrace our traditional clothings. We surely don't want it to fade fro our lives, do we? Teach your daughters in how to drape a saree and carry it with pride.
