A lehenga choli is a traditional three-piece ensemble for women from India, consisting of a long, embroidered skirt (lehenga), a fitted blouse (choli), and a scarf (dupatta). The outfit, also known as Ghagra choli in some regions, gained popularity during the 16th-century Mughal Era. It is a popular garment for special occasions such as weddings and festivals.

This project showcases a short-form feature on a Lehenga Choli photoshoot, celebrating the rich cultural heritage. The video delves into the significance of the traditional Indian garment, with our muse sharing her connection to her Indian roots. It explores the duality of her identity as both an Americanized Western person and someone with deep ties to her culture.

The project captures the beautiful photoshoot in progress and concludes with a stunning slideshow of the final images, highlighting the powerful blend of tradition and modern expression.
