Don't miss the Satya Paul showing from the fifth and final day of Lakme Fashion Week.

One of India's leading ethnic couturiers, Puneet Nanda of Satya Paul showcased a stunning collection at the LFW today.

Called 'The Jewels of the Sea', the line paid homage to the designer's underwater inspiration with three distinct segments. The first, Ultramarine, was fluid in shades of blue and hints of lime green for the resort look. The second, Multi Marine had nautical marine prints with shimmering solids, lace, sequins and rhinestones; and the third, the X-ray Marine Look showed bold black and white graphic prints with crystals, stones and large splashes of pleating.

To showstop for the line, Nanda roped in former Miss India Sarah-Jane Dias -- take a look.

Nicole Faria starts things off in this exquisite aqua drape with a large ruff decorating the shoulder.
