Janmashtami 2024: Shraddha, Shriya's Style Tips

August 23, 2024 08:40 IST

As we get ready to celebrate the birthday of Lord Krishna, it's time to bring out your beautiful Indian outfits. 

Ditch those salwars for dhotis and make sure you complete your look with jhumkas, a bindi and a gajra of mogras or jasmine, the flower used in decorating temples dedicated to the God of protection, compassion and love.
