The basic draping styles of sarees are influenced by the way India s regional sarees were woven and embellished, just as the natural environment, history and culture also had an impact on the styles. In the present era, as the subcontinent is going through rapid technological, economic and social changes, the saree is proving to be a still-thriving part of Indian material culture. The regional designs, fabrics and even draping styles of South Asia s sarees retain echoes of a past that was possibly ancient when the Indo-Aryans arrived. The basic draping styles of sarees are different if categorized according to the region, ethnic and tribal communities of India. There are literally dozens draping styles of sarees, which is common among urban middle-class Indian women. However the basic draping styles can be classified region wise for example - Noth Indian draping style, south Indian Draping style, East Indian draping style, West Indian draping style and Central Indian draping style
