A book for the saris you own
Sari Chronicles is a cherished keepsake record about your treasured saris. Treasured isn't about price or occasion. It's what matters the most to you: your grandmother's soft cotton, a handloom Ilkal worn for years by your favorite aunt, a Kasavu you inherited from your mom that comes out every Onam, the Kanjivaram you wore on your wedding day. That's why every page in Sari Chronicles includes “Daily” alongside “Bridal” and “Festive.” If a sari matters to you, it belongs in your archive.
Every treasured sari gets its own page: a place for a photograph, a few lines for what it is, a few more for why it matters to you. Fill it over the years.
Hardcover and Paperback, 8.25 × 11 in · 67 sari pages · First edition, 2026

A Personal Archive
What the book does
A sari collection grows quietly. A wedding sari, the one your mother handed down, the Kanjeevaram bought on a trip, the cotton you wear every Diwali. After a while nobody remembers which is which, where each came from, or what the blouse situation is. Sari Chronicles gives each one a page and a method.
- 1
Attach a photograph
A framed box on every page fits an instant mini print or a 3 × 4 inch photo. Photo corners, double-sided tape, or glue dots hold it in place.
- 2
Note the colours and motifs
Body colour, pallu colour, body motif, pallu motif. Four lines, in your own words.
- 3
Circle the details
Fabric, variety, occasion, blouse, pico, falls. Circle what applies; add a distinguishing mark only if it helps tell this sari from a similar one.
- 4
Write what is special
A memory, an occasion, who gave it to you, why it matters. This is the part you will reread.

Add it to the index
Sari number, a short type, and the page. Use whatever numbering matches how your cupboard is organised.
The front of the book has a short guide to the terms (pallu, pico, falls, the three kinds of blouse), a three-page index, and a one-line summary of 26 sari varieties from Arani silk to Venkatagiri. See what is inside.
