ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lehenga-style sari

Okay kiddo, let me explain lehenga-style sari to you. You know how a regular sari is a long piece of cloth that women in India wear draped around their body? Well, a lehenga-style sari is a little different.

It still looks like a sari, but instead of one long piece of cloth, it's made up of two pieces: a skirt (that's called a lehenga) and a scarf (that's called a pallu). The skirt is like a big, flowy skirt that goes all the way down to the ankles. It's usually made of a fancy fabric like silk or velvet, and it's decorated with embroidery or beads or sequins to make it look really pretty.

The pallu is like a long scarf that's draped over the shoulder and across the body, just like a sari. But instead of being one long piece of cloth, it's a separate piece that's pinned to the skirt to make it look like a sari.

The cool thing about a lehenga-style sari is that it's easier to wear than a regular sari, because you don't have to worry about draping the cloth just right. You can just slip on the skirt, pin on the pallu, and you're ready to go!

Does that make sense, kiddo?
