As a person living in the United States, most of us are clinging to our heritage in the form of festivals, family get-togethers, and memorable traditions.

Be it a wedding, a cultural program, or a pooja at home, the right saree can get us closer to our roots, no matter where we happen to be.

South India, which has a rich textile history, provides a colorful weave of the saree. These are the best choices that gracefully sail all over the seas:
Known because of its luxurious zari, beautiful borders, and lasting beauty, the crowned jewel of South Indian weaves, the Kanchipuram soft silk sarees, are a valuable asset when it comes to beauty. The soft silk type, though looking regal, is lighter and more accommodating to urban lives. The saree is ideal for milestone weddings, temples, or the daughter's first pooja in the USA.
Kanchi soft silk sarees are casual, elegant, that contain the heart of Kanchipuram skills, but you can also wear them longer because they are light. These sarees are very appropriate for community events, cultural programming, and family gatherings because they are not heavy.
Kanjeevaram silk sarees are a unique sub-style of Kanchipuram with heavy pallus and thick temple-like designs. These are often taken as Muhurtam ceremonies, Navratri celebrations, and other hallmark events by Brides, mothers, and sisters.
Uppada soft silks are a light saree of Andhra Pradesh with delicately patterned, flowing, fine silk. They are ideal in poojas and evening parties, and when you feel like being festive, you do not want any heavy structure.
Arani soft silk sarees are unique designs and fine drapes produced in small dye houses in the weaving town of Arni. They are ideal for women who want a subdued beauty when going out to meet up with friends at a festival shop, at a saree workshop, or to celebrate privately.
To the individuals' melding of art and heritage, the kalamkari soft silk saree comes into the picture with hand-painted or block-printed designs. These sarees can be worn in artsy evenings, literary festivals, or even cultural evenings in the big cities of the US.
Kolam soft silk sarees are cheerful and pretty because of the inspiration that they got from the form of rangoli designs outside the homes of the South Indians. They are ideal in Golu arrangements, temple outings, or afternoon ethnic get-togethers.
The Mysore soft silk sarees are simple to make with their sheer and coloring. They are perfect on professional cultural occasions, lecture halls, or easy pujas and depict confident femininity.
Strong geometry and bold ikat patterns make Pochampally soft silk sarees so bright and vibrant that they bring life to stages of events and festival celebrations, and in communal gatherings. They go with blends of blouses or heavy tribal jewelry.
Kanchipuram, kanjeevaram, or kanjivaram silk saree is a great pick over festive colors such as red, maroon, and gold. The borders of these weaves are heritage-worthy as they respect the tradition.
Soft silk, Mysore, or Uppada sarees of light, thin, and graceful material are best. They are suitable for wearing long hours and are modest in appearance.
Opt for sarees in big prints such as kalamkari, pochampally, and soft silk sarees. They are easy and look trendy to be coupled with the fusion fashions.
It is better to opt for theme-based wear such as kalamkari, colors, and patterned sarees, as they are more easily teamed up with cotton, silks, or worn with a velvet blouse. Drapes of ever-so-breezy Kalamkari and kolam are adorable.
