[quote=Anonymous]Indian here. A new sari is not hung as wall art, there are so many beautiful Indian options for wall art that include the use of textiles but not saris. To an older person it would probably be looked at as odd, hanging up a non-significant article of clothing instead of actual art. I can see it being a trendy new thing to do with old saris or with a sari that has special significance, but you don't do it with a gift from your MIL. Did you wear it to your wedding or reception? That would be an exception even if it was a gift for her. An old sari is almost always repurposed in some way- as a kurta, salwar kameez, pillow covers, bed cover, cloth bags, etc but not usually as a wall hanging and I do see how it can be pretty but it's best to just take it down while she's here. Maybe once she's here for a bit you could get her to teach you how to drape the sari. If it's beautiful on the wall, it's probably even more beautiful worn at least once! [/quote]
