Aesthetic doctor by profession, this stunning doctor looks beyond her clinic to many different fields of interest. While her colleagues describe her as a conscientious doctor, abreast of contemporary cutting edge technology in skin care, she appears as a diva in the lenses of her friends, and the woman wearing many hats in the heart of her family. Travelling, cooking, participating in a plethora of festivals with equal zeal, embracing buddies and keeping them close are but only a few facets of her multifarious persona, but if you have happened to bump upon her profile, you'd instantly connect to her gorgeous passion for ethnic drapes. Her profile categorically calls out her panache in sarees that she effortlessly accessories with an array of ornaments defining her aura and enigma in a way that's little rivalled. What's even interesting are the tales behind each of those drapes. When sarees turn raconteur, the tapestry of colours, patterns, textures gets exalted with a unique conflation of flavour oozing from each thread and knit, culture and couture, emotions and memories - what prompted to pick that particular one, what occasion was it first unveiled in, why was it special at that moment, which loved company she was with when she was at the store, how the liveried salesman and women mollycoddled her when she steps in stores she patronizes, and importantly what she does with them once worn.
You'll find her in other social platforms, but this corner is purely for her passion in sarees. Let's peek into her elaborate wardrobe to dig in the tales behind her stellar collection of drapes - you'll not only pick up some of her happy moments but also learn the prints, material, and more.
Shiuli, a small fragrant flower, is quintessentially connected to autumn in Bengal. It's as subtle and ephemeral as the season itself. While the catkins put up a dazzling dance below the azure, welcoming Goddess Durga, these little ones fall furtively in the wee hours of dawn, crafting a white-orange spread beneath its mother tree. It's a beauty to behold, and an aroma a Bengali can feel even if they are miles away. As if to embody the beauty of shiuli, our elegant Dr decided to wrap herself in this amazing silk drape! The Goddess herself in the achal/ pallu dominates the purple 5 yards while the flowers selflessly scatter in devotion. What an impeccable ensemble!

Doctors and Sarees, acronymed DNS, is a group that meets quarterly to exhibit a conflation of talent and beauty of sarees. In their milestone 10th meet, they convened and lit up the catwalk of a sumptuous banquet hall in a luxe hotel with fine patola silk sarees - the theme that underpinned this gorgeouus assembly. Here's Dr Mahua in the green grandeur of her drape, ensconced in a chair like a royal.

Boron is climactic after five fervour-filled festive days of Durga Puja, including pandal hopping with friends and family, having bhog, praying for health and happiness chanting Sanskrit hymns with anjali - handful of flower petals. During boron, married women lovingly bid farewell to the goddess by rubbing red vermillion on her face as well as on each other, accompanied by exchange of sweets. Here's our uber-stylish doctor, embracing the divine denoument in a broad red bordered saree accompanied by ornaments befitting the occasion.
Talk of friendship, and she pops up in the mind of our her close circle instantly. When the dear daughter of one of our beautiful friends decided to start a new loving journey with her beloved, Dr Mahua graced the occasion in an alluring white embroidery embossed baby pink semi-sheer. With her hair done by a professional, she looked enticing.
Who says you need a flashy swimsuit to set a beach on fire? Keep your eyes peeled and you may bump upon a ravishing Dr Mahua by the sea in stark striking yellow or electric pink, be it Mauritius or Dubai!
Her oomph for sarees is not contained to beaches; check her flair in chiffon as she spars the blows of wintry chill for a perfect photoshoot - a testimony of unflinching perseverance in following her passion. Hasn't she aced the art of dwarfing even the sparkling snow?
Here are her black magic moments where a quarry is compelled to be transfixed by her spell!
Juxtapose that with white, and the raving beauty is suddenly tamed to be docile.
Red and white are quintessence of her culture; little wonder these coulours define Dr Mahua's auspicious moments and renders her as a divine diva.
Indian weddings, spanning over four to five days, are Byzantine, replete with a plethora of rituals, revelling with family and friends, peppered with scrumptious spread of authentic dishes. Parents put their best foot forward to fastidiously plan the ceremony for months. The colossal event commences with the would be bride and bridegroom being smeared with generous amounts of haldi (turmeric) in their respective domiciles. This not only brings out the glow in the pair for the D Day, but also uplifts the overall aura with the vibrance of yellow - the theme colour of attires, decorations, and flowers used in this event. In one such occasion, Dr Mahua donned this beautiful 5-yards from her cornucopia of drapes.
In yet other occasions, she sets the floor ablaze with her glow in yellow, camouflage with tulips, or simply pose dolce.
Juxtaposed with these warm colours are her moments in indigo portraying that indomitable persual of fashion, innate to her.
Shimmering in mother of sheen, she stuns her viewers with the magnificence and opulence of silks. The threads shift colours as illusive green hues segue to blues in some of these sarees while in others a solid colour is interspersed by zari work patterns. Garbed in green grandeur, pulchritudinous in purple, or a resplendent in multicoloured fabric - she carries them pompously in this variegated repertoire.
Before she steps into another priceless drape driven by her unbridled love for sarees, prompting another post, I'll wrap this one up with some pastel looks from her collection.
To summarise succinctly, the way Dr Mahua weilds and harnesses the charm of this ethnic wear, little wonder she appears to be in her element in these 5-yard drapes that many women find difficult to manage. Being the fashion maven, she often plans, details, and coordinates the colours of get-togethers for eye-catching group photos. Helping clients inside her clinic and others outside portray her as a human being with distinctive traits - kind, amicable, beautiful. Wish her many more moments of brilliance both at work and drapes!
