The sari denotes traditional Indian wear and has generated interest since it lends distinctive radiance, vigor and variety to the costume. However, the Swaramadhuri is one unique silk sari which is all set to stir lots of interest and curiosity among the sari buyers. Called a “singing” sari, the Swaramadhuri has a built-in iPod and eight microspeakers embedded in its borders, and it can play as many as 200 songs continuously for four hours. A 2GB memory chip is hidden somewhere in the sari to support the connected peripherals.
