First Indian to skydive sporting a colourful Nav-wari sari.

Pune : Pune adventurist Shital Rane-Mahajan set a new record by becoming the
first Indian to skydive sporting a colourful Nav-wari sari in Thailand on
Monday. An elated Rane-Mahajan after landing said owing to favourable weather
conditions, she was able to skydive twice from an aircraft at heights of around
13,000 above the world-famous tourist resort of Pattaya. I wanted to do
something different with International Women's Day coming up next month, so I
decided on wearing the Maharashtrian Nav-wari sari for my skydivesM Rane-Mahajan
said. Recounting her experiences, she said that wearing the Nav-wari sari itself
is a challenge since the attire is nine-yards (8.25 metres) long - compared to
six yards of the regular Indian sari.
