NPR correspondent Rhitu Chatterjee visited a hit London museum show called 'The Offbeat Sari.' It showed her how the garment has changed — and made her reflect on what the sari means to her.

The purple sari in the museum show belongs to Oorbie Roy, a Canadian Indian, who goes by Aunty Skates on social media. She occasionally wears a sari while skateboarding."She's embracing this fluidity of the sari," says Tiya Dahyabhai, assistant curator of the exhibit."And actually, you can see around the back of the sari, there's some holes in this area where she's maybe tumbled."Photographs by Andy Stagg.
