Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

Wearing of traditional dresses till date by Indian women is surprising for two reasons for me.

No doubt ghaghra choli or lehangas aren't as common now. They are worn only on special occasions like weddings, festivals and some religious events.

Saree is still worn on a normal routine day by many Indian women. There are then those Indian women who drape sarees only on special occasions like weddings and religious festivals and ceremonies.

Why is sin so sweet?
