Stand in front of the mirror, holding pallu in your left hand. Start tucking non-pallu end of saree into petticoat. Ensure that the bottom edge of the saree touches the floor.

Step 4: Arrange Pleats:

Hold the saree at the tucked-in point and make 5-7 pleats, each around 5-6 inches wide. Ensure the pleats are even. Adjust the pleats so they are neither too loose nor too tight.

Step 5: Drape the Pallu:

Take the pallu in your left hand and bring it around your body from the back to the front, over your left shoulder. Allow it to fall gracefully, creating a neat fold.
