A group of 50 saree-clad women performed a flash mob dance at Select City Walk, a mall in South Delhi to promote the use of saree.
A video of the performance shows them matching steps and moves to hit Bollywood numbers as the crowd taken by surprise cheers on enthusiastically. Uploaded on OCtober 28, it has been viewed more than 160,000 times.
The flash mob performance had been organised by an NGO Devditi, an organisation that works for women empowerment. They sought to send out a message that modern Indian women can come of age without abandoning their traditional wear, saree.
Saree is losing out on popularity as women see them as inconvenient drapes that hamper their free movement. But the flash mob dancers said if they could dance in saree anybody could work as well in them.
