#SareeTwitter takes over Internet; Priyanka Gandhi tweets a throwback sari photo from her wedding day

Of late, Twitter was abuzz with #BottleCapChallenge, the bizarre social media trend which required you to kick off a bottle cap without spilling or knocking over the bottle. However, on Monday, much to the surprise of Twitteratis, #SareeTwitter took over the micro-blogging site.

The trend documented a series of bright Outfit Of The Day (OTTD) pictures, and throwback photos. It eventually turned out to be massive hit among Twitter users.

So what is it all about? Simply put, women from all over India, were sharing pictures of themselves draped in colourful saris and rightfully complimenting one another.

As #SareeTwitter gained momentum, celebrities and politicians have also joined the bandwagon to share their favourite sari looks.

Saree dipicts our Indian tradition and culture. It is also supposed to be known as our sexiest costume. One looks dignified , elegant, beautiful , graceful and yet can seem very appealing in it #SareeTwitter pic.twitter.com/gVIuAZ6Uco
