I believe in giving individual attention to every student. This is from a personalized one on one saree draping session with a student from Mysore, helping her master the art.
I get so happy seeing my students' progress. This video shows the saree box folding magic created by students after just one day of my masterclass.

About Learn From Me: Saree Draping Classes
In my sessions, we don't just watch – we do. You will learn the exact techniques for those sharp, peacock-feather pleats and sturdy box folds that I use in my own professional pre-pleating service. Every batch is hands-on because I want you to walk away with the confidence to drape a saree in under three minutes, or even start your own draping business.
From Beginner to Expert
I often hear people say, 'Saree bagge enu gottilla' (I don't know anything about sarees). That is exactly who I want to teach. You do not need experience to join my classes. We start from the absolute basics, ensuring you understand fabric types, pinning techniques, and how to create pleats that actually stay put.
Why My Classes are Different
I believe in 100% hands-on practice. My students are not just spectators; they are active participants. During our sessions, we cover:
- Perfect Pleating: Mastering the 'gundu' (fluffy) pleats and sharp, crisp lines that look professional.
- Storage & Care: Learning how to perform hanger folding and travel-friendly box folding so your sarees remain crease-free.
- Practical Troubleshooting: How to handle different fabrics like silk, georgette, and cotton without damaging the zari.
Turning Passion into a Profession
I am not just teaching you how to drape. I am teaching you how to earn. One of the biggest parts of my mentorship is sharing real marketing tips. I show you how to build your own client base, how to position yourself as an artist, and how to manage the business side of things. Whether you are a student, a housewife, or an aspiring makeup artist, this skill is a powerful tool. I provide post-class support so you are never left figuring things out on your own. If you have the passion, I will give you the roadmap.
