Deepika and Ranveer's new journey
New Delhi: Bollywood's popular couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh are ready to welcome a new member to their house. On this special occasion of their second pregnancy, the couple reached the famous Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai to seek Bappa's blessings. Just like he had visited the temple before the birth of his daughter 'Dua' in 2024. Deepika's traditional look is attracting everyone's attention during this religious journey. She flaunted her baby bump with simplicity and elegance in an outfit that epitomizes India's 900-year-old textile art.
Deepika's stunning look
Mom-to-be glows in Mayur Girotra's Patola kurta
Deepika wore a custom traditional ensemble created by fashion designer Mayur Girotra for the special occasion. Her look was based on silk patola print, which incorporated vibrant colors and traditional designs. She wore a loose-flowing kurta with purple bottoms and a tissue silk woven dupatta. The delicate applique work on the dupatta made her look even more special. This ethnic combination of purple and golden tones further enhanced her mom-to-be glow.
Features of Kurta
fine zardosi work
The round neckline of this traditional kurta of Deepika was decorated with fine golden embroidery of antique zardozi. Apart from this, the Patola pattern made of a mixture of yellow, red, green and white colors on the kurta was also attractive. This way of mixing traditional craft with modern silhouette gives it a special and royal feel. Keeping pregnancy fashion in mind, the designer kept the fit of the kurta comfortable, allowing for ease of movement and a slight flaunting of the baby bump.
Historicity of Patola
900 years old historical Patola history of Gujarat
This outfit of Deepika is not only a part of fashion, but it is also a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Gujarat. Patola weaving has a history dating back almost 900 years, having been a status symbol among the royal families of Patan, especially in the 11th and 12th centuries. The artisans of the Salvi community of Patan have preserved this wonderful art from generation to generation. The process of making Patola is based on 'Double Ikat' technique, which is very complex and laborious. It may take artisans several months to a year to produce a single saree or cloth on a handloom.
