Saree is one of the ethnic Indian dress and only unstitched garmemt from the past. The use and origin of sarees has been very old and have so many mentions in "Mahabharata" and other epic. The famous Cheerharan episode in Mahabharata and then Rani Laxmibai fighting with britisher in 1857 revolt. have the glimpse of its age old usage.

Not only in India, Saree are also a common dress among the other neighbouring countries like Srilanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh. The most important significance of Saree is its management. It is a kind of art and complete respect to women that simply able to wear them and able to do all chores of activity.
