A remarkable fashion show took place at a five-star hotel in the capital, highlighting traditional attire on a grand stage with the theme 'Sawan ki Ghata'. The traditional outfits were a standout feature in Asha-Gautam's 'Hunargatha Mein Hunarmand Ka Jalwa' fashion event. Models from Swadha also graced the runway under the collaborative effort of Asha-Gautam. The evening was made extraordinary by musical performances of Sawan ke Jhoole, Kajri, and Malhar. The models, adorned in stunning dresses, brought the music to life as they walked the runway, adding the perfect finishing touch to the event. The sight of stunning models in exquisite Indian traditional attire gracefully striding down the runway to the backdrop of a melodious folk tune was truly mesmerizing. It felt as though the monsoon had arrived at Kamal Mahal, with raindrops resonating and the delightful aroma of earth permeating the air.
The runway seemed to become even more stunning when older women showcased elegant Indian clothing.
