When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator. On her birth anniversary today, Demure Drapes salutes Iron Lady of India Indira Gandhi was... Surviving in a period when India was still a Man’s world, Indira Gandhi stood tall. Her brilliance and prowess made her the leader that India truly misses today. No wonder people still call her the “Woman of the Millenium”. She was indeed a woman who can be called strong and soft at the same time. A radiant woman, a great leader and an epitome of kindness and generosity, Indira Gandhi is what the modern world calls a balanced woman. She wore the simplest saris. The elegance with which she carried herself made her a style icon. Her style for draping the sari was so Indira Gandhi. For the most part, she covered her head with the pallu. At other times, she draped the pallu on one side of her shoulder, rather effortlessly which also became an inherent way in which she carried the sari. She always wore hand woven sarees. She represented rural India through the various handloom sarees and the patterns were never over the top or pompous in style. For events that involved grandeur, Indira Gandhi did opt for pure Silk saris, which were understated and chic. One of her favorite kinds was the Silk Kanchipuram sari. She always wore a Rudraksh beaded necklace around her neck at all times, which was another distinct trademark in terms of her style.
