My Saree Hall of Fame
A celebration of the sarees you already treasure. It recognises the traditions you hold, what you declare about each, the Coveted Ten masterworks among them and how far your collection reaches across India — never what they cost.
Regional breadth
Woven across India
Each of the Atlas’s 44 traditions belongs to one of six regions. Your first region adds +1, the second +2, and so on to +6 for the sixth: 21 points for all six. Wishes in your Wishlist do not count; sarees you own do. The outline is the official Survey of India outline; the regions are drawn as quilt patches, so their seams are stylised rather than administrative borders.
Add a saree you own
Choose the tradition and, if you know it, the exact variety. Only a precise Coveted Ten masterwork earns +8.

How recognition works
Clear and deliberately simple. Points reward breadth, what you declare and the exact masterworks you hold — never price, and never owning the same thing twice.
| Recognition | Points | How it is counted |
|---|---|---|
| Each distinct tradition | +1 | Once per tradition, however many you own. |
| Silk, declared | +1 | Once per tradition, when you declare it. |
| Handloom, declared | +1 | Once per tradition, when you declare it. Silk and handloom are separate declarations. |
| A Coveted Ten masterwork | +8 | Once for each of the ten, and only for the exact masterwork variety described in The Coveted Ten — not a general description or a tradition’s name. |
| Regions of India | +1 to +6 | The first region your collection reaches adds +1, the second +2 … the sixth +6: 21 in all. Recalculated whenever you add or remove a saree. |

Everything here is self-declared. Varieties, silk and handloom are your own descriptions unless separately verified by a qualified expert or document. The Hall of Fame is a private celebration kept only in this browser — not an authentication, appraisal or valuation service.
