This is a colourization I did of a woman from Gujarat, India in 1970. She is wearing traditional jewelry and a bandhani dupatta.

I got the original b+w from @smsomah

This took nearly 4 hours to colourize. I haven't done a long colourization in a while.

Bandhani Sarees The India's Most Popular Authentic Clothes Category The name "Bandhani," often spelt "Bandhej," refers to a technique mostly practised in Gujarat and Rajasthan. It is derived from the Sanskrit word "bandha," which means "to bind." It is presently highly fashionable in the mainstream. The Khatri people in Gujarat, India's rural areas, used this tie-and-dye technique first in the sixth century. According to historians, Banabhatt's Harshacharita wore the first Bandhani saree at a royal wedding. A traditional form of art is bandhani. Archives from the Indus Valley Civilization are the first to mention this method of fingernail-plucking the fabric and knotting it before dying.

Bandhani's testimony can be seen in Buddhist paintings at the famed Ajanta caves.

Every garment tells a story, you just needs to use it in a way that reflects yours. To me my #sarees are 5.50 mts long canvasas that narrate how I am feeling and my connection with my sorroundings.

Look down at your body 👁 Whisper ✨ There is no home like you 🧡 Thank you - @rupikaur_ Feeling myself in "#bandhani #babe" set from @namaslaycollective by my good sis @akashaonabeat I just want to take a moment to Thank you @akashaonabeat for taking a chance and working with me. Ioce your brand and all that you stand for. My fellow #gujarati babe you are epic! I'm so honored to model your #fashion time and time again. I'm always down when I get that call and I love your passion with #diversity in models, #ethicalfashion and how you source your materials, how you spread love and unity amongst everyone and how amazing you are as a person. Thank you for allowing this #trans #body to model your gorgeous garments. As a #transmodel as a #dougla in the #southasian fashion industry and as a #brownskin woman I have faced so much rejection for not having conventional looks for the standard "North Indian" "Gori" "#Eurocentric" that most of these designers and brands seek in models. So many times have I been asked to come in as hair and makeup and not offered modeling opportunities because I'm Trans, black and or darker skinned. This industry is not as inclusive, accepting or diverse as I would like but it's people like you @akashaonabeat who are shaping the way we view models and #equity in fashion and beauty.
