About Saree & Idol Draping Services
Why I Do This
Draping isn’t just a job for me, it’s pure passion mixed with devotion. When I say, Ganpati Bappa Morya, it’s not just about festivals - it’s about feeling connected to my roots. Whether you want your wedding saree to look perfect or your Ganpati idol to shine, I put my heart into it.
Idol Draping
Idol draping is my special connection to tradition. I handle Ganpati idol Sovale draping - from tiny gharche Ganpati (home idols) to massive sarvajanik ones (public idols). During Navratri, I do Vastralankar for Devi idols, choosing the right fabrics and styles that show respect to the goddess. It takes patience, an eye for detail, and a real understanding of what looks right, so I never rush this work.
Saree Draping for Brides & Events
Weddings, pujas, or any big day - I’m known for Navari bridal saree draping. I get how stressful weddings can be, so I always tell brides, “bindass raha” (just be chill). I work with classic Maharashtrian, South Indian, Paithani, and silk sarees. And yes, I team up with makeup and hair artists so your whole look falls into place.
Easy Saree Solution
If you want a saree that’s quick to wear and still looks pro, my ready-to-wear saree pleating is for you. I’ll take your measurements, pre-pleat and pack it up, so you just open and wear. No faff, no drama, just walk in looking sorted.
I’ll be real - some drapes take time, and not all fabrics cooperate. But I’ll always try to make it look as good as possible.
