Yes, it is fun! Just that I have a short attention span and after a while, I am DONE! For me the trick was to be constantly occupied (by taking pics) and finally buying those lungis! :-) And enjoy your shopping! :-) Maya:

Have been dazzled by many of them. In our family, the women don't wear white sarees; so they allegiance has shifted markedly to the colorful Kanjeepuram sarees. And I am sure when we visit kerala, M will want a few of the Kerala sarees too. More Fun! :-)) Jennifer:

Traditional is gold borders, but even then there are so many variations. Prices also vary a lot. Ah, Kanchipuram - I visited on my last trip to India, 4 years ago. Amazing city, amazing saris.

Amazing, isn't it? wait till you travel to Chennai. The ranges of colors and borders and styles is simply amazing. Women usually know the number of "Kanjeevaram" sarees they have. You gotta get one on your next trip! M does not have any Kerala sarees, so perhaps on our next trip to Kerala, we should try that experience too. Thanks :-) Yes, whole shops dedicated to a style of sarees! Amazing, isn’t it?

Even I have had such an overwhelming experience. I was so lucky to have an Indian friend with me, to help me choose. It has been repeated time and time again. This last trip to India I bought some Keralan saris in Trivandrum - even narrowing the choice this much, it was still an amazing selection - the whole shop was dedicated to Keralan saris. he he hee.
