Attire - Festive and Bright Colors

Women: Lehengas, Anarkalis, colorful cocktail dresses
Men: Colorful Sherwanis or Suit with colorful tie

We have received many questions about Indian attire. We encourage guests to wear Indian clothes if they want for the Sangeet, Wedding, and Reception ceremonies, but it is not required.

If you are looking to purchase Indian clothes, here are several shops that we recommend:

North Carolina:
Sara Elegance

New York:
Vintage India NYC (we have not been, but selection looks great!)

Online only:
Sani Designs (also available on Rent the Runway)
Kalki Fashion
Indian Wedding Saree
Ogaan Boutique
Panash India

Borrowing Indian clothes is another option. For Anarkalis, lehengas, sherwanis, and kurtas, you will want the outfit sizing to be exact. If you are borrowing a saree, you can purchase your own blouse from any number of retailers and Indian floor length Petticoat (available on Amazon for reasonable price).

Feel free to reach out to Rani, Prasanth or the family for any specific questions!

Things to Do

The Shiva Temple

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Sri Somesvara Temple is a Vedic Shiva temple at the center of Mount Soma, a community commonly referred to as “Mount Kailash of the West.” Visitors travel great distances to experience Sri Somesvara’s powerful Linga, profound silence, and timeless vibrations. If you want to feel the presence of Lord Shiva, come to Mount Soma!

Blue Ridge Parkway

A Blue Ridge Parkway experience is unlike any other: a slow-paced and relaxing drive revealing stunning long-range vistas and close-up views of the rugged mountains and pastoral landscapes of the Appalachian Highlands. The Parkway meanders for 469 miles, protecting a diversity of plants and animals, and providing opportunities for enjoying all that makes this region of the country so special.

Black Balsam Hiking

Hike to the view-packed Black Balsam Knob summit on the Art Loeb Trail, exploring a grassy, wildflower-covered mountain with 360-degree vistas, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville.

Chimney Rock Park

Chimney Rock. It’s one part living classroom, one part outdoor gym.  With ample opportunities to learn and explore, along with hiking trails, climbing opportunities, and exciting ways to break a sweat and stay fit, you’re in for a bit of learning, and a bit of fitness.
