The nauvari, a staple saree worn by Maharashtrian women, can be an ideal look for an engagement ceremony or mehendi function. Nauvari which means nine yards is also referred to as Kaashtha where the sari is tucked at the back. Pair it with a classic Kolhapuri chappal or the trendy Kolhapuri sandals. And yes, do not forget the iconic nath (nose pin).

The border woven in gold zari punctuated with blue added a hint of shimmer to the overall look. She paired it with a yellow silk satin blouse featuring a V-neck collared neckline. Radiant in red, Genelia donned a hand-embroidered organza saree from Deep Thee.
