odhani

A huge number of good things can be written about the odhani. It flows in breezes, it hides the coy, it shapes the figure, it covers the bare , it can leap out and kiss, with a gentle glance, a wispy stroke and tease, it can bind and tie, pull and caress, float away and never be found, keeps you warm when cold, wraps around you in comfort, waves around you in celebration, it is cheap and cheerful, graceful and extravagant, exotic and exciting..

patola

There is also the choice of wearing a traditional Patola Saree, which is specially made in Patan in Northern India. This garment is believed to bestow a spiritual essence arising from the time, care and devotion with which it is crafted. Patola Sarees are very expensive costing around ten thousand sterling pounds or a lot more.

adornments

The women adorn themselves with glittering necklaces and earrings with their arms covered with bangles of many colours and compositions. Many will sport a bindi on their forehead and some will have ankle bracelets, which give off tinkling and jingling sounds as they dance and sway. Some few or more will have adorned themselves heavily and completely and they stand out and shine, these are the garba queens whose passion and devotion for the dance is apparent from the time and imagination taken over their adornment. Many others will adorn themselves colourfully but in simple and rustic ways.
