Vastra (Garment)

What Vastra (Garment) is for

The question that comes up whenever Indian traditional clothing enters a conversation — what is a sherwani, how is a saree draped in Bengal, how do you care for a Banarasi silk saree, what's typically worn to an Indian wedding, what does "zari" mean — answered from one hand-curated, fully local reference, without a scroll through a dozen fashion-blog listicles.

What it does

Profiles of 20+ major garments — saree, lehenga choli, sherwani, kurta pajama, dhoti, salwar kameez, anarkali, ghagra, mundu, angavastram, dupatta, bandhgala and more — with a description, typical regional association, common occasions and typical fabrics (garment_info, garment_search); at least eight documented saree draping styles (Nivi/standard, Bengali, Gujarati/Seedha Pallu, Maharashtrian/Nauvari, Madisar, Coorgi, Assamese and more) with a brief how-it's-worn description and region (saree_draping_styles); a fabric guide covering silk types (Banarasi, Kanjeevaram, Chanderi, Tussar, Mysore silk), cotton weaves (Khadi, Chikankari) and other traditional fabrics, with characteristics and basic care (fabric_guide); general dress conventions by gender for weddings, festivals, office/daily wear and religious ceremonies (occasion_guide); clothing traditions of eight major Indian regions — Punjab, Gujarat, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Kashmir (regional_style_guide); traditionally associated meanings of colours in Indian clothing contexts (color_symbolism); washing, storage and ironing guidance per fabric (garment_care_tips); and a glossary of around a dozen terms — pallu, zari, booti, aanchal, bandhani, ikat and more (garment_glossary).

What it is not

Not a fashion-critical or shopping tool — Vastra (Garment) doesn't rate, rank or judge anyone's clothing choices, and it isn't a retail catalog. It is a descriptive, cultural/practical reference: garment, occasion and colour conventions vary enormously by region, religion, community, generation and personal choice, and every relevant tool response says so rather than presenting a single convention as a fixed rule. It is also fully local and hand-curated as of its stated build date — not a live fashion-trends feed, and not a substitute for advice from your own family or community on ceremony-specific dress.

Tools

Garments

garment_info — One traditional Indian garment's description, typical regional association, common occasions and typical fabrics. Use for "what is a lehenga choli", "tell me about the sherwani". Args: name.

garment_search — Search traditional Indian garments by keyword, matched against name, description, region, occasion and fabric. Use for "which garments are worn in Kerala", "what's worn for weddings". Args: query.

Draping & fabrics

saree_draping_styles — Documented saree draping styles (Nivi/standard, Bengali, Gujarati/Seedha Pallu, Maharashtrian/Nauvari, Madisar, Coorgi, Assamese, and more) with a brief how-it's-worn description and region. Use for "how is a saree draped in Maharashtra", "what's the Nivi drape". Args: region.

fabric_guide — A traditional fabric's origin, characteristics and basic care — silk types (Banarasi, Kanjeevaram, Chanderi, Tussar, Mysore silk), cotton weaves (Khadi, Chikankari) and others. Use for "what is Banarasi silk", "how do I care for a Kanjeevaram saree". Args: name.

garment_care_tips — Washing, storage and ironing tips for a fabric — checks specific named fabrics (Banarasi, Kanjeevaram, Chanderi, ...) first, then falls back to general categories (silk, cotton, chiffon, velvet, wool, ...). Use for "how do I wash a silk saree", "how should I store a velvet lehenga". Args: fabric.

Context

occasion_guide — General dress conventions by gender for a type of occasion — weddings, festivals, office/daily wear, or religious ceremonies — described as widely-observed convention, not a rule. Use for "what should I wear to an Indian wedding", "what's typical office wear". Args: occasion.

regional_style_guide — Clothing traditions associated with a major Indian region or state — characteristic garments, fabrics and a short note. Use for "what's traditional dress in Punjab", "clothing traditions of Kashmir". Args: region.

color_symbolism — Traditionally associated meanings of colours in Indian clothing contexts (e.g. red commonly for weddings, white commonly for mourning in many communities), each noted as general cultural convention that varies by region, community and religion — not an absolute rule. Use for "what does red mean in Indian weddings", "why do some people wear white for mourning".

Reference

garment_glossary — Definitions of common Indian clothing terms (pallu, zari, booti, aanchal, bandhani, ikat, choli, kasavu, gota patti, odhni, jamawar, mukaish, kalamkari). Use for "what does zari mean", "what's a booti". Args: term.

Conventions

• Read-only. Every tool reads public data or computes; nothing is written anywhere and nothing about the user is stored.
• Result envelope. ok: true with data, or ok: false with a structured error (bad_input, not_found, upstream_error). degraded lists optional sources that were unreachable.
• Rate limits. Free tier 60 tool calls/minute and 300/day per user (keyed on the user identifier supplied by the host agent, else client IP); Pro keys raise this. Over-limit calls return HTTP 429 with Retry-After. initialize and tools/list are never counted.

Vastra (Garment) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 September 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What Vastra (Garment) is. Vastra (Garment) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that AI assistants and personal agents call on your behalf for a hand-curated Indian traditional-clothing reference: garment profiles, saree draping styles, fabric guides, occasion dress conventions, regional style traditions, colour symbolism, care tips, and a glossary. You interact with your assistant; the assistant sends us only the arguments needed for that one lookup.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call — a garment name, a search keyword, a region, a fabric name, an occasion, or a glossary term — the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant, and a Pro API key if you have one), and standard server logs.

Everything is answered from bundled, hand-curated reference files and nothing is stored. No request is forwarded to any third party — there is no upstream call at all, live or otherwise — and no query is logged in request bodies, recorded, or used to train anything.

What we do not receive or store. We do not receive your conversation with the assistant or your name, and we do not build a profile from your queries: each request is answered independently and nothing carries over between requests. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting-provider access logs, which contain IP addresses and request paths but not request bodies, are retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention.

Sub-processors. None — the entire dataset is bundled with the server and answered locally. Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Legal bases and your rights. Our processing is necessary to provide the service you request through your assistant. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete personal data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information and do not use your data to train models.

Children. Vastra (Garment) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.

4. Acceptable use. Automated use within the published rate limits is welcome.
5. Availability. The Service is provided "as is" without warranty. We may change, limit or discontinue it at any time.
