Diverse hues and styles of sarees inundated the popular Times Square as women from the Indian diaspora and other nations celebrated the elegance of the garment, and empowerment of women through heritage, artistry and community at a special event here.

The second edition of the ‘Saree Goes Global' event was organised on Sunday by New York–based philanthropic organisation Uma Global in partnership with the Consulate General of India in New York.

This year's celebration brought together participants from India, Bangladesh, the UK, the West Indies, Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, multiple cities across the US, and New Yorkers, transforming Times Square into a vibrant global mosaic, according to a statement issued by Uma Global.
