Styling in My Mahabharat

I am a person with wild dreams. And one of my wildest dreams is making my own Magnum Opus on Mahabharat, which focuses specifically on Abhimanyu & Uttara. The story is being written by me, and I am doing my best for all of it. Styling, is something that I am focusing on, as it makes me happy.

I am not the biggest fan of the clothing in Star Plus Mahabharat because:

The clothing was too simple. Only the borders had designs.

The clothing was repeated a bit too much, where was the variety?

The jewelry clearly seemed...phony. Rich n royal=/= heavy gold tbh.

So, I watched some styling videos of many period films, and here I am, with my ideas!

First of all, we need to incorporate materials like silk, cotton and muslin. These three should be the primary, and the difference b/w the three can clearly show a difference in hierarchy. Muslin can be shown to be worn during the night/summers.

We have Banarasi and Kanjivaram sarees, we have Bandhni and Patola prints, we have zari work. I would def include these in the costumes.

For jewelries, simple, but designs from various parts of the country will look good. One or two heavy necklaces are enough, IMO, to show the grandeur of the era. Plus other jewelries like hair ornaments, earrings, bangles, armbands and kamarbandhas are here.

Different designs of armor for the men are a must, probably modelled after what Arjun wore in Star Plus Mahabharat. His armor suited his body type, and looked very good on his figure, over all.

Hairstyles have to include flower ornaments like gajra. They are not worn on "wedding nights" pls, how do these ppl find flowery stuff romantic when someone else is wearing it?!

And now, I shall style my main characters, Abhimanyu and Uttara. If this is successful, I shall do the others too-

Abhimanyu

This is gonna be pretty short. What are the main things for styling a male?

I imagine Abhimanyu with long hair, not too long, but till his neck. Not completely straight, slightly wavy.

One thing I love about StarBharat is the tilaks they have done, for the Kuru men, with the moon and other designs. I will keep that one for sure.

Since Abhimanyu has lived majority of his life in Dwarka, some traditional prints/jewelry designs of Gujarat/Maharashtra will be a great inclusion.

As for ornaments, nothing particular is necessary, except two bracelets, one neckpiece, and two earrings. My headcanon has Abhimanyu wearing an armband, and a single ring.

And colors...hmm, purple is a good option, as that color is associated with royalty. The color blue is a great choice, since it symbolizes freedom and sensitivity, as well as faith and stability. Red is a must, as it is associated with bravery, and dark red means vigor, willpower, and rage. Abhimanyu is canonically short tempered, his name means "extremely wrathful". And red is associated with sacrifice as well, so it is def his color.

As I am going to show Abhimanyu be 21, his headpiece in the armor from StarBharat goes away, as it gives him a boy-ish look. Without it, however, changes his look completely, and I don't want anything in his outfit making him seem boy-ish.

Uttara

Uttara's details in my mind are far different from what is shown in StarBharat. I have kept the same cast as they look cute together in my story, yes, and I hate Uttara's styling.

Her clothing is exquisite, just like her mother's. Matsya is canonically rich, and her maternal side is from Kekaya, what do you expect? Uttara's clothes are flowy, to allow easy movements.

The material of the fabric will be silk, with Kanjivaram, Zari and Banarasi type of embroideries on them. I am showing Matsyadesa to have a riverine trade route, so she should have access to all types of fabrics. Some traditional Rajasthani prints have to be there too.

Jewelry is not too much, but well made and designed. Uttara is interested in dressing up, and it is obvious that she shall have a large collection of ornaments.

The colors shall be pink, as it symbolizes innocence and softness, off white and yellow, which symbolize purity and joy respectively, and blues, lemons and greens as well. Her color scheme rarely has dark shades, as it is symbolic.

Her hairstyles range from a braid, to a bun and a bun with a braid coming out of it (kind of like the typical dance hairstyle).

Sindoor is a must, and there are no veils here. Uttara does own various mini-chudamani style ornaments, which she wears from time to time. Blouses are strapless mostly, some times some of them have straps.

Nostalgia- (1960s- 1970s)

Nostalgia has always been my friend. When no one was around, the feeling of nostalgia was a company. Even though I did not have the privilege of being born during the golden period, 1960s and 1970s, I don’t know what it’s to be like living in that era, yet a bittersweet nostalgia engulfs me when I think about it.

The allure of Rajesh Khanna movies, the purity of old-fashioned romance, and the timeless classics by Kishore Kumar all carry a sense of comfort and warmth.

There is a deep, emotional connection to something I’ve never witnessed, people I’ve never met, lifestyle I’ve never come close to and feelings of simplicity I don’t think I’ll ever experience.

The elegance of a cotton saree, the richness of authentic Indian culture and the modest way of life—they transport me to days gone by. I yearn for the time when people found solace in reading dusty brown books lining in cracked shelves.

Above all, i miss the significance of letters. The lost art of pouring out emotions on a piece of paper when it becomes difficult to express yourself into spoken words.

When innocent gazes from right across the street could lead to people sending love letters and igniting a lifelong love…

When lifestyle was humble, cherishing valuable moments with family was appreciated and people melted their day’s exhaustion over a cup of chai and good company.

And When people lied at home and sneaked out to watch Shammi Kapoor’s latest hits.

From Trams, rickshaws, telephones to vintage cassettes on the radio, I find myself obsessing over the simplest of the retro things.

I cannot put into words how I feel when I stumble upon a 1970s cassette set or when I come across pictures clicked in 1963.

It leads me to contemplate my hypothetical existence as what my life would’ve been like if I was present in that moment. Would I have chosen a path as a teacher? Or a skilled weaver?

Perhaps, my role would have involved fostering a sense of community by hosting the neighborhood children for a cup of chai and some namkeen. My heart feels full and my eyes become blurry when I think about “what could’ve been” , “how would it feel” , “when could’ve been better” .

These feelings and thoughts occupy my mind and leave me thinking some parts of me belong to an era which has no clue about my existence.

I feel a disconnection from my own generation as if I am displaced from my people, not being able to resonate with any of them.

When the present fails to provide any of those sentiments that I ache for, I find myself engaged in the past, seeking nostalgic experiences. It is fascinating how an era we never personally encountered can have such a deep and emotional impact on our lives, resonating with us in so many ways, leaving an indelible mark on our lives.

This bittersweet feeling makes me want to wear a Banarasi silk saree and lie down on a hammock, listening to Lata Mangeshkar Ji’s “Ehsan Tera Hoga Mujhpar” .

Knowing how to choose the right petticoat for a saree

In the rich tapestry of Indian culture, the saree holds a special place, symbolizing elegance, tradition, and grace. Draping a saree isn't just about wrapping fabric around oneself; it's an art form, a timeless expression of femininity and sophistication. While choosing the perfect saree is crucial, what often gets overlooked is the importance of the foundation garment - the saree petticoat. Often relegated to the background, the right petticoat can make all the difference in achieving that flawless saree drape.

Indian saree petticoats are more than just a supporting garment; they play a vital role in ensuring the saree drapes beautifully and enhances your silhouette. From the fabric to the fit, here's how mastering the art of saree draping begins with selecting the right petticoat.

Understanding the Role of a Saree Petticoat

Before delving into the nuances of selecting the perfect petticoat, it's essential to understand its role in saree draping. A petticoat provides the foundation for the saree, lending it structure and shape. It acts as a base onto which the saree fabric is draped and tucked, ensuring a smooth and graceful fall. Moreover, the petticoat holds the pleats in place, preventing them from slipping and maintaining the saree's elegance throughout the day.

Choosing the Right Fabric

One of the critical factors to consider when selecting a saree petticoat is the fabric. While cotton petticoats are popular for their breathability and comfort, silk petticoats are preferred for their luxurious feel and smooth texture. Depending on the saree fabric and occasion, you may opt for a petticoat that complements the saree material.

For instance, if you're wearing a silk saree, a silk petticoat would be the ideal choice as it ensures the saree drapes seamlessly without any creases or wrinkles. On the other hand, if you're donning a lightweight chiffon or georgette saree, a cotton petticoat would provide the necessary grip for the fabric to hold its shape.

Ensuring the Right Fit

The fit of the petticoat is paramount in achieving a flattering saree drape. A well-fitted petticoat not only accentuates your curves but also provides the necessary support for the saree to fall gracefully. When selecting a petticoat, ensure that it sits snugly at your waist without being too tight or too loose.

Additionally, consider the length of the petticoat, which ideally matches the length of your saree. A petticoat that is too long can cause the saree to drag on the floor, while a shorter petticoat may result in an awkward drape. Aim for a length that allows the saree to skim the floor gracefully, with just a hint of the petticoat peeking through.

Exploring Design Options

While functionality is paramount, saree petticoats also offer an opportunity to experiment with different designs and styles. From basic solid colors to intricate embellishments and lace detailing, there's a myriad of options to choose from based on your personal preference and saree style.

Opt for a neutral-colored petticoat like white or beige for versatility, or add a pop of color with vibrant hues like red or royal blue to complement your saree's palette. Embroidered or printed petticoats can also add a touch of glamour to your ensemble, especially for festive occasions or weddings.

Maintaining Care and Comfort

Lastly, caring for your saree petticoats is essential to ensure longevity and comfort. Always wash them gently by hand or on a delicate cycle to preserve the fabric and prevent any damage. Hang them to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to avoid shrinking or fading.

Additionally, consider investing in multiple petticoats in different colors and fabrics to cater to various saree styles and occasions. This allows you to mix and match effortlessly, ensuring you always have the perfect foundation for your saree ensemble.

For quality saree petticoats that enhance your saree experience, explore the exquisite collection at Women India, where tradition meets innovation.

In conclusion, mastering the art of saree draping begins with selecting the right petticoat. Indian saree petticoats not only provide the necessary support and structure but also contribute to the overall aesthetic of your ensemble. By paying attention to factors such as fabric, fit, design, and maintenance, you can elevate your saree game and exude confidence and poise with every drape. So the next time you adorn a saree, remember that the perfect petticoat is the secret to mastering this timeless art form.

Sequined Sarees

Sequined sarees are perfect for glamorous events and parties. These sarees are adorned with sequins or small reflective discs that create a shimmering effect when caught in the light. Sequins can be scattered all over the saree or concentrated on specific areas like the border or pallu.

Choosing the Perfect Fancy Saree

When selecting a fancy saree, there are a few factors to consider to ensure it complements your style and occasion.

Consider the Occasion

Choose a saree that matches the formality of the event. Opt for heavily embellished sarees for weddings and festivals, while lighter and simpler designs are suitable for casual gatherings.

Identify Your Body Type

Different draping styles and fabric choices can enhance your body type. If you have a petite frame, opt for lighter fabrics and delicate prints. If you have a curvier figure, choose sarees with vertical patterns or slimming designs.

Experiment with different colors and patterns to express your personal style. Bold and vibrant colors make a statement, while pastel shades offer an elegant and subtle look. Consider your skin tone and the occasion when selecting the color palette.

Draping Styles

The draping style of the saree can transform its appearance. You can opt for traditional draping styles like the Nivi or experiment with modern and innovative drapes. YouTube tutorials and online resources can help you learn various draping techniques.

Accessorizing

Complete your fancy saree look with the right accessories. Statement jewelry, such as necklaces, earrings, and bangles, can elevate your outfit. Consider the saree's design and colors when selecting accessories to ensure a harmonious and balanced look.

Taking Care of Your Fancy Sarees

To maintain the beauty and longevity of your fancy sarees, it's essential to follow proper care and storage practices.

Proper Storage

Store your sarees in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Fold them neatly or hang them using padded hangers to avoid creasing. Consider using fabric bags or covers to protect them from dust and moisture.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Follow the care instructions provided with your saree. Some sarees may require dry cleaning, while others can be hand-washed or machine-washed. Treat stains promptly and avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. Iron the saree at a low temperature or as recommended by the manufacturer.

Conclusion

Fancy sarees offer a delightful blend of tradition and contemporary fashion, allowing you to transform your look with elegance and style. By choosing the right type of fancy saree, experimenting with draping styles, and accessorizing thoughtfully, you can create stunning ensembles for various occasions.

INDIAN DRESS CULTURE

Indian dress culture is a rich and diverse tapestry of traditional clothing styles and designs that vary depending on the region, religion, and cultural heritage. Indian dress culture has a long history that dates back to ancient times, and it has evolved over the centuries, reflecting the influences of different rulers and invaders, as well as social, political, and economic changes.

Traditional Indian clothing is known for its vibrant colors, intricate designs, and rich fabrics. Some of the most popular traditional clothing styles include sarees, salwar kameez, lehenga choli, and kurta pajama. These garments are typically made from cotton, silk, or other natural fibers, and are often adorned with intricate embroidery, beadwork, and other decorative elements.

Sarees are long pieces of cloth that are draped around the body and are popular among women in India. They come in a wide variety of styles, designs, and colors and are often worn for special occasions and celebrations.

Salwar kameez is a traditional outfit worn by women in North India and Pakistan. It consists of a long tunic top called a kameez, and loose-fitting pants called salwar. The outfit is usually made from cotton, silk, or other lightweight fabrics and is worn for everyday wear as well as formal occasions.

Lehenga choli is a traditional outfit worn by women in North India, especially during weddings and festivals. It consists of a long skirt called a lehenga, a short blouse called a choli, and a dupatta (a long scarf) that is draped over the head.

Kurta pajama is a traditional outfit worn by men in India. It consists of a long tunic called a kurta, and loose-fitting pants called pajama. The outfit is usually made from cotton, silk, or other lightweight fabrics and is worn for everyday wear as well as formal occasions.

In addition to these traditional styles, Indian fashion has also been influenced by Western fashion trends, and many Indians now wear Western-style clothing as well. However, traditional clothing styles remain an important part of Indian culture and are still worn by many people, especially during festivals, weddings, and other special occasions.

HISTORY OF INDIAN CLOTHES:

The history of Indian clothes dates back to ancient times, and it has evolved over the centuries, reflecting the influences of different rulers, invaders, and social, political, and economic changes.

During the Indus Valley Civilization (2600 BCE-1900 BCE), people in India wore garments made of cotton and silk, and there is evidence of jewelry and accessories made of precious metals and stones.

The Mauryan Empire (322 BCE-185 BCE) is known for the development of the dhoti, a long rectangular piece of cloth worn by men that is wrapped around the waist and legs. The dhoti was also worn by women during this time, along with the saree, which was draped around the body and over the head.

The Mughal Empire (1526 CE-1857 CE) had a significant impact on Indian dress culture, introducing new styles and fabrics, such as the churidar, a form-fitting legging, and the anarkali, a long, flowing dress. The Mughals also brought with them the art of embroidery, which became an important part of Indian dress.

During the British colonial period (1858 CE-1947 CE), Indian dress culture was further influenced by Western fashion trends, with many Indians adopting Western-style clothing. However, traditional clothing styles remained popular, especially among the rural population.

After India gained independence in 1947, there was a renewed interest in traditional Indian dress, with designers and fashion houses exploring new styles and fabrics. Today, Indian dress culture is a vibrant mix of traditional and modern styles, with a wide variety of clothing styles and designs available for both men and women.

Embracing the Timeless Elegance: Khadi Fabric

Introduction: In a world dominated by mass-produced textiles, there's something truly captivating about the timeless charm of handcrafted fabrics. Khadi, a fabric deeply rooted in India's rich cultural heritage, stands as a symbol of sustainable fashion, craftsmanship, and the spirit of self-reliance. Let's delve into the captivating world of Khadi and discover why it continues to enchant fashion enthusiasts across the globe.

A Historical Legacy: Khadi has an illustrious history dating back to India's struggle for independence. It was Mahatma Gandhi who recognized the potential of Khadi as a means to empower rural communities and promote self-sufficiency. By encouraging the production and use of Khadi, Gandhi aimed to break free from the clutches of British colonial rule and revive India's rural economy.

Natural and Sustainable: One of the defining characteristics of Khadi is its sustainable and eco-friendly nature. It is made from natural fibers such as cotton, silk, or wool, without the use of any chemical processes or machinery. The production of Khadi involves spinning the fibers into yarns on a spinning wheel (charkha) and then weaving them on handloom. This manual process not only preserves the purity of the fabric but also reduces carbon footprint and promotes sustainable practices.

Craftsmanship and Artistry: The beauty of Khadi lies in the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into its creation. Each piece of Khadi fabric is meticulously handwoven by skilled artisans who imbue their expertise and creativity into every thread. The handloom process allows for customization, resulting in unique patterns, textures, and designs that cannot be replicated by machines. This craftsmanship not only preserves traditional weaving techniques but also provides livelihood opportunities to countless artisans, keeping ancient skills alive.

Versatile and Timeless: Khadi is a fabric that effortlessly transcends trends and seasons. Its versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of apparel, from elegant sarees and kurtas to contemporary dresses and shirts. The breathable nature of Khadi allows for excellent air circulation, making it ideal for warm climates. Moreover, the textured feel and earthy tones of Khadi fabric lend an organic and rustic appeal to any garment, giving it a distinctive character.

A Symbol of Empowerment: Khadi holds a special place in the heart of India as a symbol of empowerment. It has played a significant role in supporting rural economies, empowering artisans, and preserving traditional skills. By choosing Khadi, we contribute to sustainable development, fair trade practices, and the revival of local communities. It's a way of embracing fashion that respects the environment and values the hands that create it.

Conclusion: Khadi material is not just a textile; it is a celebration of heritage, sustainability, and craftsmanship. With its timeless elegance and eco-conscious production, Khadi embodies the essence of slow fashion and the importance of preserving our cultural roots. By embracing Khadi, we embrace a connection to our past, present, and future—a textile that tells a story of resilience, self-sufficiency, and the beauty of handmade creations. Let's appreciate the allure of Khadi and embrace its unique blend of tradition and contemporary style.
