Lehenga choli is all-time favorite dress for Indian women. It is not a new addition in todays self-conscious fashion industry; it has its glorious root in ancient Mughal period which has extended up to todays splashy ramps, from designers item to bridal attire, and from a rural female traditional dress to gorgeous party attires. Everywhere Lehenga Choli has been considered as the tribute to ageless beauty where glamour, sobriety, and respect for tradition ooze out of the every fold and frill of the dress, be it a wedding ceremony or simple get together.

Lehenga choli has not changed remarkably from its ancient siblings; rather its gorgeousness has kept designers bewitched to change anything about this royal attire. This dress is comprised of three parts, dupatta, the choli is the blouse, and the long skirt is the lehenga.
What are experiments and alteration is done on Lehenga choli is on its fabric material and out of the wide array of fabrics, silk Lehenga choli still has occupied the best popularity stake for its glamour, gorgeousness, preciousness, and elegance. In fact the silk Lehenga choli is the carry forward version of old traditional attire: in Mughal era the fabric for this dress was silk and brocade prevalently, now the dupatta and long skirts are made of linen, silk, and fine chiffon etc.

Originally Lehengas were ankle-length ling skirts which helps waist around. The length of tribal lehenga choli varies from knee to ankle. While the mediocre people used to wear lehenga in the shape of ghagra choli and shorter in length, affluent people uses to get this attire in ankle or ground length size for the sake of elegant looking beauty and sophistication. Originally, Lehengas were all of umbrella shapes although presently these are available in different shapes.
Thanks to our fashion designers, some new looks on Lehenga Choli has been added and these have earned huge popularity between youngsters and celebrities, but for all the types and ranges, and shapes, use of silk has become more reliable and adorable dress material.

The most popular style of Lehenga choli is fish tail lehenga choli, straight cut lehenga, mermaid lehenga, Kali ghagra lehenga, circular lehenga, Paneled Lehengas, lehenga with flair and A-line lehenga etc. Where the conventional female dress of Indian village are mostly ghagra choli, women belonging to affluent circle of society and from royal backgrounds used only silk made lehenga choli made with heavy satin, natural silk, and sometimes they prefer to get jewel studded silken Lehenga choli with gold and silver embroidery with precious stones.

Silk made lehenga choli are mainly used wedding and as festive dress. There are different types of silk fabrics used in the silk lehenga which comes with heavy art work of brocade and ornamentations by golden and silver threads, studded with semi-precious stones. The lustrous satiny look of silk complements this fine artistry thus goes in tune with usual gorgeousness of Indian wedding a festive occasions.
Some popular designs of silk Lehengas are silken lehenga choli with zori embroidery, silk made lehenga choli with bead embroidery, silk lehenga choli with multicolored stone and zardousi work, silk lehenga with mirror work, lehenga made with printed silk fabrics, silk lehenga made with appliqu and patch work, silk lehenga with thread embroidery, and tie die silk fabric made lehenga etc.

Silk lehenga choli is a unique outfit which never goes out of fashion trend and attunes perfectly with colorful ambience of Indian tradition; it drapes perfect, can be at perfect shape for a long time, and radiates a natural feminine elegance of its own.

Each year hundreds of girls and young women enter beauty pageants. The allure of competing in pageants includes meeting new people, the competition itself, and the opportunity to win great prizes. In fact, prizes can be the deal breaker when someone is contemplating whether or not to enter a particular pageant. Try to put together a remarkable prize package when organizing your next beauty pageant.

Provide regalia for your queen. Of course, at the top of the list for a pageant prize package should be regalia. Common items include a crown or tiara, crown pin, sash, scepter and flowers.

Provide keepsakes for each of the contestants. Even if a contestant does not win the crown, she may want a small token to remember her pageant experience. Ideas for keepsakes include participation trophies, plaques, and certificates.

Offer scholarship money. Scholarships are a great incentive for someone to enter a pageant. This is especially true for girls and women who may be ambivalent about participating in this type of event. Contact universities about offering a scholarship to a qualified contestant in exchange for publicity. Small private universities may be more interested in this type of sponsorship than larger schools. Other institutions that may be interested in a similar arrangement include modeling schools, beauty schools and fashion academies.

Offer discounts to a future beauty pageant. If your pageant is an official preliminary to a larger event, one of the top prizes should be paid entry to that event. If your budget allows, consider offering to pay for hotel accommodations or providing an allowance to help reduce the travel expenses of the winner. If your event is not a preliminary, offer each contestant a discount towards competing in your pageant the following year.

Include gift cards as a part of the prize package. Contact local businesses for sponsorship. Ask for donations of gift cards or gift certificates in exchange for mentions during the pageant, online and in the pageant program book. Also, contact online retailers related to the beauty pageant industry for similar donations. Create sponsorship packages based on the value of the gift cards donated.

Put together gift bags. There are many items that can be included in a gift bag. Among them are perfume, makeup, small mirrors, gadgets, books, magazines, slippers, pens and gold plated silver jewelry. Tailor gift bags for the winner, runners up and as consolation prizes for the contestants that do not place.

In the middle ages, Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225 – 1274), one of the greatest of the medieval Christian theologians, commented on what he thought were the elements of Beauty. What was an offhanded comment in his monumental Summa Theologica has become for many lovers of beauty, a model of evaluation and appreciation based on three concepts: wholeness, balance, and radiance.

If a work of art contains all the three elements, then the observer may be reasonably assured that the work is beautiful. Should one of these three components be found deficient then the work will be deficient; and though it may gain acceptance as a work of art, it will never be considered beautiful.

But before I propose my own opinions about beauty, let me do a bit of history:

The ancient Greeks’ word for beauty was kalos, a word that owned other connotations such as “what is proper,” of “what is good;” and as a result the Greeks didn’t leave us a clear cut model of beauty. And incidentally, though Plato’s theory of forms leads to an absolute beauty, which is transcendental, I am interested in beauty that is of this world. What transcends our senses and understanding is a different topic: it is called ‘the sublime,’ something that because it is ineffable produces astonishment.

John Keats in his “Ode on a Grecian Urn” tells us that:

‘Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all
Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.’

And Clive Bell:

In each, lines and colours combined in a particular way, certain forms and relations of forms, stir our aesthetic emotions. These relations and combinations of lines and colours, these aesthetically moving forms, I call “Significant Form”; and “Significant Form” is the one quality common to all works of visual art.

Clive Bell as well as Plotinus both think of beauty as “human form.” But ever since Ortega y Gasset, the Spanish philosopher, published his Dehumanization of Art book, no one thinks any longer that art and beauty must deal exclusively with the human. In fact Hans Hoffman, the American expressionist, tells us that painting doesn’t even have to tell a story at all. The conclusion is that dehumanized arts can still be beautiful.

When I was a young man and saw Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” for the first time, I was left in awe of the work for many years. Later, I came to appreciate works by Braque, Klee, Kandinsky, Mondrian, Miro, Matisse, Picasso, and Cezanne; and yet, I could not get a handle on that elusive feeling of aesthetic emotion. Edmund Burke in his treatise, A Philosophical Enquiry Into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful, says that smoothness is “A quality so essential to beauty, that I do not now recollect any thing beautiful that is not smooth.” And after citing examples such as the smooth skin in fine women, ornamental furniture, and polished surfaces, he concludes: “For take any beautiful object, and give it a broken and rugged surface, and however well formed it may be in other respects, it pleases no longer.” Then, how do we explain Cubism, Picasso’s sharp angles, Mondrian’s broken lines, and the ruggedness of VanGogh’s brush strokes?

And what was one to make of Marcel Duchamp’s ready-mades? Or can Andy Warhol’s Campbell Soup cans be considered beautiful?

In a re-read of James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, I was gripped by Stephen Dedalus translation of Aquinas model of beauty: wholeness, balance, and radiance. “This is the model I like! This is a model I can understand, and that I can apply to all the arts.”

When I begin to read a work of literature, if anywhere in the book I find wholeness and harmony or well balanced sentences-I read on. When I finish the book I ask myself: Is there wholeness, continuity, or is the work choppy and fragmentary? Does this book have radiance or an aura that is discernible and transferable to one’s life enrichment? If your answer is yes, then I’d say without reservations, “What a beautiful book!”

However, if the aura is weak, then the work will be weak.

Try the model: take a look at Henry Moore’s statues, or Julian Schnabel mixed media. See if you can discern wholeness, balance, and radiance.
