• Blouse:

Stitch the red blouse with a deep U-neck and elbow-length sleeves for a traditional look.For a modern twist, go sleeveless with a structured boat-neck blouse in muted gold or antique silver

A soft low bun adorned with fresh jasmine or a messy braid keeps it graceful.Go for bold kohl eyes, a bindi, and a berry-toned lipstick to complement the red pallu.

Perfect for festive pujas, mehendi functions, or intimate evening gatherings where you want to make a quiet but memorable statement.
