Nauvari saree, also known as "Lugda '' or "Kasta '' in Marathi, is a traditional Indian garment originating from Maharashtra. The Nauvari sari derives its name from the Marathi word "nau'', meaning nine, and "var" meaning courtyard, indicating the length of the sari. It is a draped garment made of nine yards of cloth, wrapped around the waist and legs, leaving one end free for the shoulder. The unique feature of the Nauvari Saree is its drape style. Unlike a normal saree that is worn around the waist and over the shoulder, the Nauvari saree is draped in a way that makes it easy to move. The saree is tucked between the legs, creating a trouser-like effect that inspires women's movement and physical activity.
