Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

It will depend on the social custom within the community where you live.

If it is the salient dress of the Hindus in your area, then it will not be permissible.

However, if Muslims and non Muslims wear the saree in your city, then it will be permissible.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
