Radhika’s ensemble is Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla’s intricate interpretation of ‘Panetar’ - the Gujarati tradition of brides wearing red and white
The ivory Zardozi cut-work ensemble consists of a trailing ghagra layered with a second detachable trail, a 5-meter head veil, and a tissue shoulder dupatta
The ghagra glitters with three borders of red. Its workmanship is the finest amalgamation of Naqshi, Saadi, and Zardozi, hand-embroidered in intricate booties
