Komal Sood, Fashion designerThis sari that I’m wearing is from my new Spring/Summer 2015 collection called Sunset Dreams. It’s pure Chantilly lace, I haven’t touched the fabric at all, although I could’ve done some embellishments on it. It’s a very elegant outfit and perfect for this Diwali, as lace is big this season.

AD Singh, RestaurateurI associate Diwali with my mom’s food – especially the tomato chutney she used to make. For Diwali, I’m wearing a kurta made by Lacoste. They are perfect as traditional wear.

Aatish Taseer, WriterI like wearing simple, subdued clothes. For Diwali, it would usually be a kurta-pyjama, maybe a light shawl if it’s a bit chilly. If I’m feeling too adventurous, I would go for an achkan.

Tania Sachdev, Chess PlayerIf I’m in Delhi, I always take time off from playing chess for a few days during Diwali. This Diwali I’ll wear this white chikan kurta designed by her and a friend of hers. My mom also picked up this yellow phulkari dupatta from Chandigarh that goes so well with many different outfits. White and gold is my favourite combination.
