Accordingly, “Because this man [Māṭhara] was very skillful in debate, the king had given him as a privilege a large village situated not far from the capital. This Māṭhara married and his wife bore a daughter; because the eyes of this young girl resembled those of the Chö li (śāri, the heron) bird, she was called Śāri; later the mother bore a son whose knee-bones were very big, and for that reason he was called Kiu hi lo (Kauṣṭhila). After this Brāhmin married, he was busy raising his son and daughter; he forgot all the holy books he had studied and he did not put his mind to acquiring new knowledge”.

India history and geography
Sari refers to the traditional attire of tribes such as the Tharua—an endogamous community inhabiting northern Odisha (mainly in the Balasore district, India) being sub-divided into two subgroups i.e. Tharua Bindhani and Tharua Kumbhar.—[Regarding their personal adornments]: Their dressing pattern is very simple and lacks any cultural distinction. The males adorn themselves dhoti, lungi with and shirts. Women wear sari. The married women put on vermillion and glass bangles. Use of silver and brass jewellery is common among them. Gold ornaments are rare and used only by the women of well to do families. They wear both glass and metal bangles, beads or metal necklaces, ear rings, toe rings and armlets on the arms. At present they wear modern ornaments used by the non-tribal women in the locality.
Shari refers to the “timber central king post” associated with “Roofs” (thok), within traditional Bhutanese architecture.—The roof plays an extremely significant part in the characterization of traditional Bhutanese architecture and is therefore one of the most important elements in traditional Bhutanese architecture. [...] The roof structure in traditional architecture is constructed with a simple timber frame structure with timber rafters, and purlins supported by columns and brackets. The main roofing cover material used is split timber shingles. The elements of the traditional Bhutanese roof, like other timber frame structures, were also constructed by carpenters without nails or screws. The principal timber truss rafter plate used for a Bhutanese roof is called a Dhingri. The Dhingri rests on a timber member called Gha which in Bhutanese means saddle. The Dhingri then supports timber posts above which simply saddle over the Dhingri using the weight of the roof to remain in place. The timber central king post is known as Shari while the posts at the sides are known as Shathung. The king post supports a central roof ridge made of timber known as Gungchhen while the Shathung side timber posts support timber under purlins known as Gungchung. [...]
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
