Usha Kunisetty came up with a unique concept during the recent Navaratri season: matching her kolams with her clothes
Colour fills the residence of Mumbai-based Usha Kunisetty, especially during Navaratri season.
This year, Usha’s pictures created a flutter on social media and WhatsApp groups; for, her kolam designs during the nine days of the festival season exactly matched the sarees she wore. So much so you could not tell them apart.
The idea hit the 46-year-old one day during the preparation to the festive season. “In Bombay, there’s a tradition of wearing nine colours for each of the nine days of Navratri. I always do that. This year, I was mulling about something else that would stand out, which is when I came up with this concept: of matching my saree with the kolam.”
