Red is the colour of love.

Designer Gaurang Shah's collection, Sindoor, too is inspired by the colour of life, love and strength.

'This is my 20th show,' said Gaurang, before unveiling his collection. 'I'm showcasing 40 lehengas. They are handwoven, hand embroidered and hand painted. I am reviving some techniques in hand painting that have been forgotten.'

As models twirled in red and gold ensembles, it reminded us of the Bengali tradition of sindoor khela, where women smear each other with sindoor on the last day of Durga Pooja.
