Celebrating the Indian Tradition.So I draped a saree for the first time in my life all by myself.
I know how to wear a dhoti saree / a Kerala style mundu saree but the normal saree was a mess
But i did it today all by myself without anybody's help
Nandi Village surrounded by five
majestic hills, Nandigiri, Brahmagiri, Skandagiri, Divyagiri &
Vishnugiri and made fertile by five rivers Arakavati, Palar, Pinakini,
Papagni and Suvarnamukhi
