The first edition of Saree Run organised by the Rotary Club of Seven Hills, in association with Jive Studio of Dance, FPAI and IMA, in Dharwad on Sunday, saw encouraging participation from women.
Hundreds of sari-clad women took part in the run that started on Karnatak College Grounds and ended at the Kala Bhavan. This is one of the events organised as part of International Women’s Day.
The event was meant to create awareness and encourage women to break the stigma over traditional attire and fitness. The aim was to bridge the gap between their social obligations and personal need for fitness and self-empowerment, the organisers said.
