since people don't know beauty of south asian countries and think only about the mainland culture and do ca every min here is a thread for y'all -

and I hope people see this and consider why we say it is "desi ca" when we see certain jewelleries and I'm gonna keep updating this thread when I see beautiful pictures of south asian traditions and credits to the owners of pictures !!!!!!!

gonna start with my state

this is from Karnataka, where most of us wear sari especially silk which we are famous for!!!!

this is another part of karnataka and it's from coorg, here the saree is draped very differently

this is from tamilnadu!!!!!!! which is wore on normal

these are worn on weddings or festivals mainly !!

I'm gonna stop my captions since I don't wana give wrong facts out

why do we shout "ca" when someone does the hand signature is because it's very significant in Bharatnatyam since every hand gesture has a meaning behind it and we don't do it without doing the namskar at the start !!!

this is from Kerala where they wear white saris with golden border (usually), even for wedding

this is from Maharashtra y'all !!!

these are on of my favourite photoshoots called palace of golds !!
