Bangkok doesn’t do Diwali quietly. Every year, the city’s Thai Indian community transforms a handful of streets into something closer to a fashion runway than a festival ground, and the energy is contagious. What started as a close-knit cultural celebration has grown into one of Bangkok’s most photographed events, drawing locals, tourists and style-watchers alike. […]
The dainty gold chain had its moment. For years, the quiet luxury playbook told us to tone it down: one thin bracelet, a single stud, maybe a pendant if you were feeling adventurous. It worked for brunch. It does not work for Ashtami. Durga Puja has always been about spectacle, dhak beats, lit-up pandals, new […]
Dussehra is one of those festivals that asks a lot of you in a single day. There’s the morning puja, the family lunch, the obligatory photos with relatives, and often an evening outing to catch the Ravan Dahan or a community celebration. Your outfit needs to keep up with all of it, which means festive […]
Navratri is almost at its grand finale, and Day 9 calls for an outfit that makes every garba spin and festive photograph count.

There’s a reason royal blue keeps finding its way back into festive wardrobes. It has the depth of midnight and the confidence of a colour that refuses to fade into the background. For Navratri 2026, this shade feels less like a trend and more like a statement, one that pairs regal intensity with a kind […]
In America, Diwali does not always arrive with a street full of fireworks. It arrives with a shoe rack overflowing by the front door, a rangoli chalked near the entrance, and a kitchen counter buried under samosas, mithai boxes and one very serious Tupperware of chole. The house party is the diaspora’s Diwali, and it […]
By Day 4 of Navratri, the festive mood in on and rolling. The colour for the day is orange, a shade that feels almost made for garba nights, dandiya circles and late-evening celebrations. Bright, warm and impossible to not love it by heart, orange emboidies high energy, enthusiasm and warmth. Bonus point: It also happens to photograph […]
There’s something different about celebrating Diwali under an Australian sky.
