In a visual that feels both divine and rooted in tradition, Niharika Konidela stuns in a rich Paithani-inspired nauvari saree, embracing her cultural essence with grace and elegance. Captioned “एकत्वं—The dissolving of boundaries between self and source,” her look isn’t just a fashion statement—it’s a spiritual ode.
The saree features a striking red and gold striped body with green undertones, highlighted by a classic gold zari border. Draped in the traditional nauvari style, it evokes images of goddesses and warrior women from epics, emphasizing power, grace, and inner divinity.
Her blouse, with short sleeves and traditional embroidery, complements the saree perfectly. What truly elevates this look is the addition of a bridal veil with intricate work, adding a touch of ceremonial grandeur. Niharika pairs the ensemble with temple jewellery, a multi-layered necklace, maang tikka, and traditional bangles—creating a complete bridal or festive look that resonates deeply with heritage.
Shot amidst marigolds and brass urulis, the setting adds to the ethereal mood. Her serene expressions reflect not just a style choice but a connection to something more spiritual—perhaps a reminder of our own roots and rituals.
Whether for Navratri, a wedding ceremony, or a spiritual photoshoot, this look is a masterclass in how traditional attire can be both artful and soulful.
