They were so kind, gracious, and FUN to run around the city with! We started at a shop called Nalli, which had two floors of an incredible variety of saris, salwars, and other types of clothing. The saris were categorized and arranged in the store by type of material, which for the most part also corresponded to where the material was made. 
Unusually, to me, the stores were primarily staffed by males. Tons of males. Young boys to young men. They were very helpful and didn't bat an eye at the number of saris that we wanted to pull out, unfold, and try on.
At Neeru's, another shop we went to, one of the sales people also modeled one for us:
All I can say is: FIERCE!
We finished off a very successful day of shopping with some lemon teas, chai, samosas, vege sandwiches, and a sizzling brownie! Delish...
Thank you so much to Srividya and Priya for spending their Sunday with me -- teaching me right from wrong in the world of saris! You two beautiful women ROCK!

JHA i can't believe you're in India and you didn't even tell me. I can't wait to hear the stories, in person.
have fun, and remember traffic does not stop for pedestrians, regardless of how cute they may look.
Jennifer,
You seem to be having quite an exciting adventure. I'm jealous, but happy for you that you get to experience so much beautiful, wonderful, and strange culture with such kind, warm and generous colleagues. Good luck on the rest of your trip and at the wedding. Great job on the blog too. I'm totally impressed!
Namaste,
David
