Gota Patti and Zari work for a rich, regal vibe

Mirror embellishments to reflect light and sparkle under the moon

Beaded or tassel finishes for a playful touch

Color-wise, go for deep reds, golds, maroons, or classic ivory with metallic accents — shades that resonate with Karwa Chauth traditions.
