If you are a fan of Navratri and enjoy playing garba, you know that the preparations for it begin a month in advance — accessories, make-up, chaniya choli, dupatta and mojdis. So, when I chanced upon Ethnicity by Rishi and Janvi, a new indie clothing brand that sells not just traditional Navratri outfits, but also clothes with a modern twist, I picked up their bandhej dhoti. This soft silk dhoti (Rs 900) can be clubbed with a crop top that has heavy-duty Kutchi embroidery. For women like me who don’t like playing garba in chaniya choli, this is our saviour.
