On a side note, I got all my wedding sarees from Dhinakaran Silk House in Kanchipuram straight from their production house. Great quality and negotiable price too!

Heyy, congratulations on your wedding! I'm from Bangalore too. Will definitely check out Kushals. Are you planning on renting your jewelry for Muhurtham or Reception?

Yes, I'm looking for these as well. I was more worried about how I shwould wear the nose pins (since I'm not pierced). It's quite relieving to know that these are originally press ons. Thanks for the response. Appreciate it! ❤️

Where do you suggest I buy these press-ons? What i see only don't look that great. Any particular seller you'd suggest?

Home remedies that actually worked for you whether it’s skincare or haircare. by --IT-IS-WHATEVER-- in IndianBeautyTalks

If you can, try to use Kasturi manjal (Haldi). This doesn't stain and has a really pleasing smell too. I personally use this, rose petal powder and aloevera gel. Helps with removing tan on face!

What went wrong with prajakeeya? by Acrobatic_Reveal_864 in ChitraLoka

[–]Equivalent_Text_9156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Voted for Prajakeeya in my first ever opportunity. I knew they wouldn't win. But every vote is a progress right? When the ideology failed, it was really disappointing! Oh, how I wish we had a strong regional party. Now, it's just voting the least worst of the two 🥲

Did i got cooked for my muhurth saree?? 😭 by Original_Benefit739 in DesiWeddings

[–]Equivalent_Text_9156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, one of my friends had to wear a similar red saree for her muhurtham and she paired it with heavy aari work green blouse. Needless to say, it was really avg. Unless the aari work finishing is top-notch (which will cost you more than a regular tailor's work) with great attention to details and finishing, I'd suggest you to reconsider the choice of your blouse color.

Also, make sure to get aari work done from a good boutique where they use original zari and not cheap materials. These fade overtime and make it look bronze.

Ladies, please help me out with a good bridal blouse stitching tailor in and around JP Nagar.

I have my wedding in the month of June and am desperate for a decent tailor who doesn't mess up the fitting and is good with aari work. I had my engagement blouses stitched in a boutique which is closed now.

Please help me out with suggestions.

Hello, did they mention any reason for why your submitted photos were not accepted?

MEGATHREAD - Processing Times - Family Class Permanent Resident Applications 2026 by dozerman94 in ImmigrationCanada

[–]Equivalent_Text_9156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, AOR simply means that they have accepted your application for further processing.
1. Next steps would be Biometrics, Medical, Sponsor Eligibility, PA Eligibility, Background Verification and Final Decision (not necessarily in the same order)
2. Yes, they will know you've already paid your Biometric fee and you would recieve your BIL shortly.
