Acc. to WP naming conventions, the article shd be Madisar and not Madisaar. Karthik.raman 06:36, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tamil Brahmins are not the only ones who wear the madisar. It is worn by brahmin women throughout South India, and as far north as Maharashtra. 71.244.134.224 22:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An old lady added text to the article...

... which I removed, but wanted to share here with you, dear people.

"Actually Madisar is made up of two words. Madi is the portion of the long pallu which is folded into two, lengthwise and tucked away at the back and this prevents it from slipping from the shoulder . The other word is Thaar. It means bringing a portion of dhothy or saree from front, between the legs and tucking it at the small of back. This will make the dhothy or saree like a pajama and helps free movement of legs. Also serves as a pair of pants. This word has now become 'Saar '. Koshavam means pleats. In Iyer Madisar there will be a bunch of pleats at the back of one leg below the knee. Iyengar Madisar is Not called Koshavam . I am Saroja Chakravarty an octogenarian Iyengar lady happy that people want to know about Indian customs."
