Traditional sari-draping lessons offered at cultural centers, hotels (Cinnamon Grand, Amaya Hills), and traveling brands (Selyn, Barefoot). 1-hour lesson 3000-6000 LKR includes practice with borrowed sari. Learn Kandyan style (favor of most Sri Lankan formal events) plus casual.

For serious study: multi-day courses at some cultural institutes. Also, many hotel gift shops sell ready-to-wear pre-pleated saris for time-crunched travelers — no draping needed. Ready for wedding invitations, cultural events, temple visits (with cover).
