When girls come to India, they often come with a dream to get to wear a sari. Even after living here for several
weeks, we are still in awe at the beauty and elegance of all the saris around us!
A couple weeks ago several of the girls
went to Town Hall- a more crowded bustling part of the city in order to shop
for saris. We were so amazed at the vast variety of colors, patterns, and
fabrics of this one simple cloth and had fun sorting through racks and rack of
saris. The girls even got to ‘try on’ saris at the shop.

On Wednesday night we were invited to our first Indian wedding which was the perfect opportunity to wear the new saris. Our very kind Auntie across the hall
very generously helped to wrap the girls and make sure we were presentable. Saris pinned securely? Check. Bindi positioned correctly? Check. Ready to go!

While the newlywed couple greeted all the guests, we enjoyed the beautiful decorations and feasted on byriyani, dosa, and payasam!
