The Kaashtha sari (Marathi: नऊवारी साड़ी) is a Koli[1][2] style of sari draping very similar to the way the Maharashtrian dhoti is worn. The word Kaashtha refers to the sari being tucked at the back.[3][4] Since this sari is usually worn by using a single nine yard cloth, it is also referred to as Nauvari, which means Nine Yards.[5] Sakachcha sari is another term commonly used to refer to this style of sari.[6] It is referred to as Akanda Vastra, which means it doesn't need any other attire to support it. In fact, this attire holds utmost importance as women across different walks of life have worn it. It is not just worn at religious and cultural events, but women have fought wars in the past and still work in farmlands wearing this. [7]
