The video shows one of the basic ways to tie a saree so it is comfortable to move in, and also dance. Please note that this saree is a little longer than the normal 6 yard saree, but not as long as a 9 yard saree. This is a saree that has a running blouse so it adds about 1 meter to the normal saree. If you do use the 6 yard saree, the dhoti will look a little shorter in this style of tying.
I like to wear tights inside, but you can also try slightly loser, shorter salwar type pants.
The material of the saree in the video is silk georgette, but this works well with any material that has some flow. Thin cotton and thin silk work well as well.
This is just one way that you can tie your saree comfortably to dance, there are many other ways that dancers tie their sarees. I will try to create a series of the types of dance sarees. Please let me know if this was helpful and leave some feedback.

I know virtually nothing about Bharatanatyam or any other performing arts. I am about as graceful as a hog. And yet.. I watch every video by you to the end. That fact that your art speaks volumes to someone as unlearned as I am is a testament to your grace and skill. The world is a better place because of you.
Its Extremely kind of her!!! Shows so much depth in character ..
You are simple and elegant. I liked you
I am an American man and enthralled with your dancing. Your Saree is so elegant that all the elite European fashion houses pale in comparison. Your innate intelligence, warmth and beauty do justice to your ancient and venerable culture & spirituality

Beautifully said ❤️

There are nearly 100s of way to drape it
Oh! This is how women in Maharashtra tie their sarees, especially in the villages! They call it nauvaree and wear a 9 yard saree! It looks beautiful!
Navraee is tied differently, but the final look is similar :)
Right...स्वप्नील
Especially farmer women's
The method is different. It is much more simpler than than.
Yes, ma grandma used to wear in this way
OMG. I am Maharashtrian and the way you wrapped your saree is exactly how my Grandmother does. I always used to think it's too tough but it's definitely not. Thanks for this video
How do you use the washroom in this drape. Any help is appreciated. 🙏
Man,she's has realized the art and essence of dance !
omg, its a such simple, all the years i wondering how they tie the saree like pants, thank u so much
It's really good mam ...... It's Maharashtrian style "patal " ...... In Maharashtra we have this type of Saree costume ..... Patal , lugda ...... You can see in maharashtrian folk dance .
Oh so much simpler than the other complicated ways! Thanks!
Grace, poise, humility all in one ...it's a total experience to watch you dance ..inspiring to get our feet get to work in grace too..🙏🙏.. thank you for this particular style of tieing the saree for dance and yoga. Will try for sure. 🙂
Oh this tutorial is a dream come true! I have always loved this style of tying the saree. Elegant and you can totally kick ass too! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing 😊🙏🏼
It's like our Maharashtraian Navari Style... I love this
Nice Mam
Nauwari kasuti... Many ways to tie.. This is one way. Thank you Rukmini Mam.
Tha k you so much for sharing in English. I really love your culture, and it is so nice to understand some things before I have the chance to learn Hindi, or any of your other country languages.
Thanks a lot ma'am...u r so humble enough to teach us how to wear the Saree...for dance
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Madam, you are jus so stunningly beautiful and immensely talented ! I salute your dedication to the Classical Dance form and also , I am so grateful for your videos. This one, demonstrating the dance saree drape is so useful for young dancers. Very kind of you to share this with others. Jai!
This stat is born purely to dance. It's her devotion (which is several steps beyond passion). My only regret in life would be that my circumstances did not let me pursue this art form which I was born to dive into.... Keep shining 🌟
You are so kind person. I love your performances. You give all your heart to it. This is the real beauty of human being. Thank you very much sharing your knowledge with us. With love Keji Beling ☯️
So beautiful and such a clear instruction. Once I went to a saree wearing workshop... could not understand anything. It was so over-complicated. Your explanation is simple and graceful
Yesterday only I thought of commenting about how to wear saree and today it there, very clean way, u can move easily in thia
Mam I saw your extraordinary performance in THANJVUR BIG TEMPLE few years back , the whole crowd is wondering about how would you dance for more than one and half hours continuously !!!!!!!!!
Is it??
Exactly the style Ive used... i am in awe with her elegance even as she explains this.. patient, detailed and graceful ..
I love the background sound. Leaves brushing eachother due to cool breeze. So nice to live in such a breezy place with trees. 😍😍😍
Thank you so much Rukmini! You listened to us and answered our request for this saree draping! You’re so sweet♥️
This is how my grandmother wears it. We call it lugad in Maharashtra. It's traditional maharashtrian attire
Lugada or nauwari is subtly different dear. Biggest difference being the pleats themselves are facing towards the right than the left. There is not just the back tuck but essentially back fall is also tucked in the front first. If you ever wore a nauwari you'd know.
Not everything is Maharashtrian it's worn in mp also it's called kachni .
@@roshnimishra4013 Why are you harping on the same thing again? No one is saying it is not done in any other state than Maharashtra.
Those last words..."hope this helps"...so lovely just to listen again and again... 🤗!!
Woah! This was so enlightening. The natural "missing link" between all the skirt-like drapes (esp. nivi) and dhoti/peshwari (pant-like). Indeed, tucking the front of the skirt in the back or the back in the front is the most natural thing to do when a woman needs more freedom of movement without compromising the decency.
U look so pretty....like one of the statues from an old temple.

Mam truly this video shows ur simplicity...and how sincerely u give responses to ur audience....
Every time I see you dance I am reminded of Goddess Durga. Huge fan of this channel.
How generous and sweet of you🥰😍. Dancers have a NATURAL SKILL and ATTRACTION and You've got it immensely. thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh such a lovely sari and such a simple easy way of draping the daunting 9 yards + 1 m of blouse.
Love the colour and you look so radiant in it

Omgggg shee is soo simple and sweettt❤❤
Je suis fan... Merci... You are a wonderfull danser😍😍

Wow! So simple and so ingenious and so graceful!

❤❤❤This was SO helpful, RukminiJi. Thank you sooo much. This is a very useful way to tie saree to work around the temple as well.
Super useful! Thank you so much :) Looking forward to follow the types of dance saree series !
Thanks for sharing. I live in canada, have so many cotton sprees but when working in my garden , I need some more functional way to wear sari as western pants. Thanks once again🙏🙏🙏
Very kind of you to show the time and effort that goes in to get the costume right...
Thank you Rukmini mam........... Thank you so much for the saree tutorial... I am one among many of your fans... Guru pranamam...🙏
I love your saree draping style....😘😍...very comfortable 4 dancing... I think so... I feel like flying when i c ur videos 😍😊
This looks very similar to the maharashtrian navvari style of draping.. 👌🏼👌🏼😊
Navraee is tied differently, but the final look is similar :)
In olden days South Indian Brahmins too tie the same way :)
@@bhagwatshah is it? At a function an aunty of mine draped a navvari for me in pretty much this Same way... I think there are a few different ways in which maharashtrians drape it... Regardless, it is super comfortable.. 😄👌🏼
@@Area-gb9qh interesting... Do tambram women also have a style of draping where they take the pallu over the right shoulder instead of the left?
Yesterday saw Thani Aavarthanam and today the Demo of How a Dance r wears The Six Yards. Beautiful watching this. The Inspire Power, Glory to Rugmini Vijay Kumar 🌹🌹🌹
Yes mam please show different types of saree tie
Huge and big follower and fan of you

God bless you. You have taken Bharat Natyam to the next level.
Your voice is as sweet as your expressions and dance and i want to learn to dance like u ....
Just yesterday i had bn going thru her videos to find how she drapes. And here it is. 😍
So much of grace and dignity ! Really extremely grateful that such a wonderful art is being practised and preserved for posterity ! Thank you again Ms.Rukmini. God bless you.
So sweet of you , such a simple demo
This is the most dignified saree draping video I have ever seen.
Lots of love from California! Thank you for thinking of your audience & sharing! 🙏 🕉 💃 💃
Wow Rukmini....so nice of you to share this video. As much as I adore your dance I also adore the wear you wear the saree and carry yourself in it.
was looking for tying solutions since long thx❤️ i am also a bharatnatyam dancer ,appreciate ur simplicity and knowledge.
Her saree demonstration solved a mystery that's puzzled me for decades. I thought some kind of magic must be involved in donning such a graceful and lovely garment, which always seemed to me to defy gravity. But, I'm sure I'll never understand the magic behind her exquisite dancing.
I really bow to your dedication for dance
Such a beautiful soul .I love to see your dancing it's out of this world.
Wow.. amazing work without single 🧷 pin..I'm going to follow this for my daughter school performance
Was waiting for this! Thanks so much ma'am. I will definitely do my next performance in this saree-drape and will share the footage with you. Love from Sri Lanka ❤️
Thank you so much Mam...👌😊🙏so nice of you .. very easy it is..😊
Besides being an artist, dancer, knowledgeable warm person, you are an athlete too !!!
Thanks for sharing this. I have been learning bharatnatyam for 3 years now and have been using the same bharatnatyam attire for all my dance school's annual shows. Its really good to know that I can try my hand with a Saree if I wouldn't have a new costume with me by next annual show (whenever it would be , whenthings get back to normal). Also I am a big fan of yours ! 😊You are awesome!👍
Amazing! This is very useful, I look forward to the other styles of tying the saree that you use in your dances.
Would you be able to show us how you pleat your saree like you did for ‘dil se’??? It looks so gorgeous yet it’s perfect for dance!! It would be so appreciated if you could make that video for us!
Thank you so so much for showing this tutorial. After watching your dance video I was thinking how you have draped your saree. I've never seen this style before, this style draping is very beautiful and comfortable for dance. Its so simple I've never thought about it. Once again Thank you so much for sharing.

I never knew clothing could be so beautiful.
The way you wear your saree compliments your grace and form. The way you move and flow reminds me of water.
Please show us the way how you usually wear your saree mam..i love the way to wear it and carry it so easly while dancing..
Wow ,that's very interesting n beautiful way of trying saree for dance.i am going to use it for my upcoming Dance video.Thankyou so much for sharing....☺️

Beautiful Rukmini 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 thanks for sharing🤗🤗🤗
