By Ahmedabad Attitude On September 30, 2016 In What To Wear this Navratri

Apart from the religious significance that Navratri holds, the nine days also resonate with delicious food, irresistible dance moves, unending fun and the opportunity of you dressing your stylish best in a traditional way. You need to look every bit of a diva and it is important to score high on the trend meter this season. As we all know, Navratri fashion is no longer restricted to the traditional chaniya-choli. Read on to learn ways in which you can make your outfits look edgy.

Just so you don’t have to waste your precious time looking for the latest trends, we have compiled a list of nine outfits that will help you rock the Garba dance floor with a distinctive style statement.

Floral prints

9 Days. 9 Outfits. Steal the show this Navratri! - BookMyShow

This year’s fashion trend is all about floral prints and nothing can be more colorful than flowers to celebrate this festival. Vibrant floral prints are dominating every element of the traditional attire, be it chaniyas, cholis or dupattas.

Dhoti Pants

If you are a pro at your Garba moves and wish to dance carefree, dhoti pants will be your favorite option this season. Pair your dhoti with a long kurta or a tank top and you are ready to go. You could accessorize this look with a pretty stole and some oxidized jewellery.

Palazzo Pants

We love our palazzos on regular days then why ditch them during the festive season? Opt for brightly colored palazzo pants and team them up with a basic colored tee and colorfulKolhapuri chapppals.

Co-ords

Co-ords are making quite a stir in the fashion world. We have seen celebrities donning this style time and again but this time around the trend has even made its way to the ethnic attire.

A block-printed chaniya-choli co-ord with an embroidered dupatta would make for a perfect Navratri ensemble.

Crop top

Full-sleeve body-hugging crop tops make for a perfect blouse. You could pair this with a heavy chaniya or a heavy dupatta and look glamorous.

Since off-shoulder/cold-shoulder tops are the current fascination, you could show-off your trendy side by pairing an off-shoulder choli with an ankle-length lehenga.

Statement accessories

Heavy chaandbaalis, maang-tikkas and kamar-pattas that help you stand out are still reigning this season. Keep it simple yet outstanding – that’s the key. You can’t be loading yourself with jewellery to the extent where you can barely move.

If you wish to play around with props and make a statement, last year’s favorite raja-rani dandiyas are still a hit among the dandiya enthusiasts.

Backless Kutchi work blouses

What could possibly be a better melange between ethnic traditional and sexy modernity? This pretty Kutchi embroidered backless blouse would brighten up any plain-jane chaniya. It has made a come-back this season and is a current must-have.

Traditional vests (kotis)

Kotis or traditional vests are a rage. The best thing about them? They are unisex. Men can team the koti over a simple kurta of a solid color and women can look gorgeous if it’s worn over a kurta or blouse.

Saafo or Pagdi

A saafo is a Gujarati version of a pagdi. It could be donned by men and women both. It keeps you in touch with your traditional side and adding this to your outfit will add just the right amount of quirk.

So guys, Haalo e Haalo! Let's make a fashion statement this Navratri with these stylish trends.

Navratri fasting rules and Navratri experience of foreigner

By Ahmedabad Attitude On September 29, 2016 In Navratri vrat rules

Hi! I am a foreign intern in Bharat Plaza. My name is Maia, I am from Russia. This year I have seen a lot of interesting things in India: Indian weddings, Holi, and soon I will take a part in Navratri and Indian New Year, which will come on the 8th of April. I am looking forward to that! I have already asked my colleagues and have known that Navtratri is the greatest festival, happening 2 times in the year, at spring and at autumn, according to the lunar calendar. Navratri lasts for 9 nights (The Navratri translation is “nine nights”). People are worshiping, are keeping a fast* and are dancing the holy Garba dance in autumn Navratri.

I like to explore Indian culture! I am interested in food, which people can eat in Navratri fast. My colleagues have told me about it!!! Yummy!!! Savory!!! I start thinking about my menu for true Navrtari. I have planned to keep a fast too and try a new dish, allowing in fast time. Who’s with me?

I’ve collected all rules and created this guide. Take it for yourself.

Now I know the rules and can create my menu.
I can’t eat much, because it is fast, I can eat only once a day. I should choose the best food. I will eat Singhare Ki Puri and Vrat Ki Kadhi. But I don’t know what else. Do you have any suggestion for me?
I am ready to take a part in the next Indian tradition! Please, give me an advice if I forget something or tell me about your Navratri, I want to learn more.
Your support is important for me too!
