From playing safe to going all out, here’s how to layer your kurta sets this festive season.
As the saying goes, we’re making hay, and nothing says a good harvest season more than a riot of colours blooming on the effortless drapes of your sartorial conquests. Thanks to a repertoire of Indian crafts and techniques that keep our festive season interesting with its creative uniqueness, brimming with textures and colourful patterns. Think luscious pashmina from the valley of Kashmir or pure silk velvet kurta sets hand-embroidered with resham and zari work—there's a sense of joy our festive wardrobes bring in addition to the celebration and cultural richness that come along with Indian festivals.
Lohri, a festival celebrated in Northern India, signifies the end of winter and marks the onset of spring—a time synonymous with positivity, renewal, and growth. It is believed that Lohri is a festival that celebrates Agni, the god of fire, and also Surya, the Sun god. In some traditions, Lohri is a time when in-laws invite newlywed brides to their loving homes and treat them to a grand feast. The brides usually dress up in traditional Indian clothes and adorn themselves with exquisite jewellery and fragrant flowers. Case in point? Here’s a festival that simply suggests the beginning of Uttarayan, a sacred period of time that welcomes a new season of harvest and could just be the thing you need to lift your spirits up in joy and merriment.
So, if you’re searching for fresh sartorial inspiration to jazz up your festive wardrobe, here’s a curated list of pieces you need to add to your wishlist this Lohri.

A dip in mercury calls for an opportunity to scout for thicker fabrics that can make the colder months bearable. We suggest you embrace the harsh winters in style by opting for luxurious velvet kurta sets that are ideal for festive gatherings and pujas. Velvet, in all its glory, can be a great addition to your festive wardrobe with its regal appeal and timeless allure. From ice-blue, olive and peach to plum, black, and deep green, our range of kurta sets comes sprinkled with metallic zari and resham work. Crafted from pure silk velvet, our collection, Makhmal, draws inspiration from the Mughal era and offers a rotation of pieces that exude royal elegance. Style the ensembles further by accessorising with a velvet potli bag, and finish it off by putting on a maangtika and some earrings.
