Finally Gujarat is gearing up for Dandiya and Garbha. After Ganesh Chturthi, the colorful season has come back again with lots of excitement! And why not? After all, Navratras are coming soon & you know what, we Gujarati’s are so excited about it. Its so crowd in the market and Garbha fans has already started to look out for traditional dress and ornament shopping for the festival. Let see what all bling bling accessories we girls should get for Garbha this time:-

 

1. Chaniya Choli/Ghagra

Go for embellished chaniya cholis for the dance. These cholis are heavily embellished with beads, mirror work, embroidery and shells and so on. They are usually in contrasting colours and with a dupatta. Designers are introducing ombre-coloured lehengas for the navratri. Style yourself in one of those.

 

 

 

2. Kada/Bangles

A lovely bunch of bangles or bling bracelet paired with chaniya choli will uplift your look. Keep your bangles to a limit, the dandiyas don’t need any distraction

 

3. Traditional Neck Piece

These traditional chunky neckpiece will not only rock the look but make you feel like a DIVA.

 

 

4. Baaju Bandh/ Armlet

Wearing an blingy or dangly armlet adds another charm to the overall look!

 

5. Maang Tika

Maang-tika is a preppy addition to your look along with an armlet or baajubandh

 

6. Jhuda

Personally, what i feel is, its not a very much important accessory to get ready but yeah this Jhooda itself is enough to make you royal yet classy.

 

 

7. Kamarbandh/ Waise Band

Kamarbandh is a stunning work of Indian craftsmanship. They are actually a visual delight and cherished pieces. They are not only good to pair up with chania choli  but are made in different forms suit womens’ preferences who today wear a wide range of outfits, from traditional ethnics to Indo-Westerns.

Dandiyas

Wooden Dandiyas, Metallic Dandiyas, and the acrylic (kind of fiber) Dandiyas. The new addition to this list is the male and female carved wooden Dandiyas. Its not a fashion accessory but these Dandiyas look so beautiful and appealing and creating a new wave in the Dandiya market.

 

Tips

Stick to cotton based materials for these events. Keep the sweat from squashing your delightful play. Fly away the night playing Dandiya!

You can wear the jhumkas though! They will add the traditional flavour.

Wear a sequined lehenga with opulent embroidery; either in a sober or contrasting combination

Your dandiya night can be made special if you pair up your ensemble with that of your partner. You can pair only the hue though; if you are wearing red-white, he can wear white or red. Do not play the whole matchy-matchy game here, or you will end up looking like twins.
