Gehna in pink

Gehna looked pretty in her pink saree or is it ghagra.

They must have thought that white is regressive.

And the villagers should have a dress code not to wear white attending shoksabha,

DS is the boss and if she decides what is good, it should be good and acceptable.

Why to invite villagers? They could have conducted a simple home ceremony.

Maybe to show villagers are fools and regressive and BH people are progressive.

Will villagers learn some lessons by this?

I think creatives went overboard. Gahna was first in red and then in pink with lace border -compared to her - both Anandi and Ganga were in simple saree in pastle shades. It would have been better if they gave similar saree/ghaghra to Gahna - her dress was beautiful, but way too flashy for the occasion. Even in real life - in cities, ladies in similar situation wear simple saree and then on terahvi/barsi - they are given colourful clothes (except red) and bindi, bangles, nail-polish etc.

I'm glad they made dadisa give the bhashan and not anandi.

Anandi doesn't need to give bhashans😛 now there are enough people in the story who embraced her ideology and are wiling to propagate those ideas

It is not easy to change overnight. The traditions and customs somehow connect to the religious identity also.

I think other religion people also follow some dress code during these occasions.

Red bindi has significance in south india. And there is haldi kumkum rasam where only married women with husbands alive are invited.

Sometimes I wonder why men dont have all these external symbols? Why only women have to carry this burden?

ICAM! 😆 Atleast people won't tend to sleep during the DS bashan, since she knows how to grab people's attention without sending your eardrums into a snooze!

There is a difference. When anandi says these things, it is like a lecture. And when dadisa does it, it looks that she is explaining something convincingly. It is easier to accept these things from old people than young people.

Men do had such things, In fact the toe ring married women wear these day, was actually worn by men in the olden days as a marriage symbol just like mangalsutra for women! But just like other ornaments patriarchal society made that to be compulsory for women, unfortunately!
