Ganga Mahotsav- Gorgeous for Ganga


Either you're about to embark on a journey to Varanasi to celebrate the Ganges or you're in a mood to look gorgeous at a traditional do.
Pick up some fresh flowers, wear your brightest mood in combination with the traditionally intricate Benarasi saree.
Benaras = Varanasi = Banaras.
The traditional Benarasi saree is made up of woven gold embroidery in pure silk and these days we have a combination of net, zari tissu, pure georgettes, silk satin and faux georgettes even.
If you can, then go for a full fledged silk one like the "khadi pattidar" purple saree on the top right corner.
Or go for a more flowey saree like the fiery jaffa orange & buttercup mustard yellow one in the center.
Go stylish with a combination of net and benarasi silk - this is my personal recommendation.

Gorgeous for Ganga look
Theme - like the flow of a river, the freshness of water and the purity of love
Saree - benarasi silk with a combination of net or georgette - can be combined with kat daana work or kota doria work
Blouse - brocade with trendy sleeves or pure silk solid color halter
Pattern - Paisley / florals ( no geometrics)
Churidar - ONLY if you cannot wear a saree
Jewelry - Jadau ; keep it light ; one solid color  + kangans - recommended "ganga jamuna" look which means it includes silver and gold or say white gold and yellow gold
