The ivory Zardozi cut-work ghagra is an innovative ensemble that merges traditional patterns with details of western silhouettes. Consisting of a trailing ghagra layered with a second detachable trail, a 5 meter head veil and a tissue shoulder dupatta, the outfit was created by 25 of the most gifted kaarigars at Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.


The ghagra sparkles with three borders of red, which is also the colour of lasting love. Its workmanship is the finest amalgamation of Naqshi, Saadi and Zardozi symmetrically hand-embroidered in intricate floral booties that are lavishly decorated with stones, sequins, tamba tikkis and a touch of red Resham.

The head veil has impossibly delicate jaali work while the detachable trail is a Zardozi marvel of 80 inches.

The red shoulder dupatta uplifts the silhouette with its maximal drama. Abu Sandeep have envisioned it intensely in every angle and placement to create the most dazzling sight.

While the back of the dupatta is reminiscent of a cape, the front adapts elegantly to the many gracious movements of the bride.

Radhika's footwear was also hand-embroidered to match her outfit.

The outfit, in its totality, is the romance, passion and serenity of love finding opulent expression in haute couture. It complements Radhika's radiant beauty through the indulgent imagination of Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.
