Traditionally, women are used to wear a matching head scarf along with this saree style called Vastra. This style can be easily recongnised with its pallu and pleats. 

This style of saree draping is linked with the Great Sage Agastya and his wife Cauvery. The legend has it that Cauvery transformed herself into a river to serve the people. The sage Agastya tried his best to stop his wife  and while doing so her saree pleats were pushed back. It was from that time that the women wear their sarees in the same way.
