Varamahalakshmi Goddess Saree Draping Workshop in Bengaluru

Draping a saree for an idol is vastly different from draping for a person because you lack a human frame to pin and secure the fabric. In my workshop, I specifically teach you how to use internal support structures and specific pleating angles so the saree stays perfectly placed on the idol throughout the entire pooja without slipping or losing its shape.

Master the Art of Varamahalakshmi Alankara

Many people struggle to get the saree to stay firm on a pooja idol. Traditional pins often don't hold the weight of heavy silk fabrics, and the pleats tend to flatten out when you are trying to balance the statue. My workshop removes the guesswork from this process.

What we cover in this session:

• Securing the Base: How to create a sturdy foundation on the idol so the saree doesn't shift during the morning pooja.
• Pleating for Idols: We focus on getting that 'fluffy' and voluminous look that makes the Goddess look divine, rather than a flat, stiff drape.
• Fabric Handling: Tips on working with various silk textures, including how to handle slippery fabrics that are usually difficult to style.
• Troubleshooting: We discuss the common mistakes that cause the saree to slide, such as incorrect pin placement or poor fabric tension.
