Exclusive video: Even the audience didn't know a superstar singer was secretly singing for them!

This collection has been inspired by the frescos in Ajanta Caves.

 

Take a closer look at the lehenga. The designer has incorporated designs from the Ajanta frescos as handpainted Kalamkari on Kanchipuram silk.

 

Looks like Navratri came a little earlier this year :)

 

Festive lights hanging from the ceiling created a magical effect, as model strode down the runway.

 

The designer used only natural dyes obtained from the bark of tree, flowers and roots. The final result is here for all to see.  

 

Models walked the runway in saris with stunning gold borders and intricate Kalamkari images. 

 

We don't mind owning every single piece of this collection :)
