Best Outfits To Wear During The Lakshmi Puja This Diwali

Make it noteworthy with a sleeveless kurti

While most others are wearing their kurtas and saris you can choose to stand out with a sleeveless kurti over your jeans or dhoti pants. The red and blue colour in this one exudes a good colour blocking combination, while the gold border gives it a traditional touch. We suggest a stack of gold bangles to complete the look. ₹1,299; Available at STOP. Shoppers Stop, World Trade Park, South Block, 1 JLN Marg, Malviya Nagar, Jaipur, Rajasthan. Tel no: 0141 272 8001.
