Pink, orange and red can be the shades of spirituality.

Those were the hues enchanting Shibani Dandekar Akhtar wore as the ambassador for designer Sheetal Batra’s Ruhanniyat collection at Bombay Times Fashion Week 2024.

Ruhaniyat is the Urdu word for spirituality and those who rule spiritual spaces.

Singer-actor Shibani certainly ruled many a space in rich raiments that were luxurious homage to the vibrant cultural heritage of Kashmir. Batra's showing displayed exquisite garments in jewel tones, exhibiting superb craftsmanship.

It applauded traditional artistry via its Kashmiri tilla work, intricate dabka zardozi, and basra moti accents.

Aubergine is the new rang on the shaadi radar. It has a vigour and robustness that translates to elegance and sophistication.
