Here we have a photograph of ninety-seven jamdani sari fabrics folded into rectangles, sitting on a table in front of a sunny window. The fabrics are stacked in piles. In varying patterns and colors, there are five piles and roughly twelve to fifteen fabric rectangles in each. Between the folds, some patterns can be made out: white fabric with light blue stripes, some with white and pink stripes, orange stripes, and green stripes. There are hints of floral patterns on a diagonal grid, and others with arrow-like shapes and triangles as well.
