Perhaps because of the pink hue and the layered folds it seems like an unfolding blossom on a bosom.  

Often i marvel at the sheer aesthetics of a sari, the uncomplicated elegance, the grace with which it enwraps and the effortlessness with which it curves and falls and holds is something else. The other day i was looking at a grandmother walking past my window and i was mesmerised by the way her foot fall would splay the pleats and then collapse again and i realised all over again that the sari is one of the most intelligent things to cover the female form with. It enhances and it enables. But that is an ode to the sari. My ode to the photograph is that with a little bit of light tapered to a shadow, you have captured the beholder's fancy.
