We wear different clothes every day — some for school, some for play, and some for special occasions like festivals.
India has many traditional clothes like sari, kurta, and dhoti, and we also wear modern clothes like shirts and pants. Every region has its own unique clothing style!

The sari is one of the oldest pieces of clothing in the world — it’s been worn in India for over 5,000 years! A single sari can be up to 9 meters long and is draped in many different styles across India.
