Dateline Dehradun: Women from all spheres are set to take part in the second edition of Sari-thon, Power Walk by Power Women on 1st March, Dehradun.
Honouring the tradition of draping sarees, women across age groups are being encouraged to take part in this annual open event, with the only criteria being, drape the nine yards and team it up with a comfortable pair of shoes as you walk down from The Doon Club to Ashtley Hall.
Talking to Newspost Venu Agrahari Dhingra, the brainchild of the event updated us about what this 2nd edition holds, “This year we are going to hold the event on 1st March where we will walk from The Doon Club to the Ashtley Hall and back.” She further added, “the idea behind the event it to promote sari and textiles of India, which we are extremely proud of.”
With the first edition saw over three hundred and fifty graceful women, honouring the saree legacy, this year the team looks forward to touching a thousand with the idea to promote sari, its weaves, our rich culture and traditions.
There is more to the walk. There will be discussions on pertinent issues such as Menopause, which we as women generally don’t know much about and suffer silently. Another important topic that will take centre stage is financial education for women.
One of the sponsors of Sari-thon, Surbhi Sapra adds, “I am very proud to be a part of this amazing initiative. It not just brings about women empowerment but it also ensures that women empowerment is intricately interlaced with our tradition and our values.”
So for those who want to be part of the event and be with with like-minded, enthusiastic women, see you all tomorrow i.e. saturday, 1st March.
