Diwali is a time when you light up our homes and lives. According to Indian tradition, people wear beautiful new clothes and add shimmer to their Diwali celebrations. Over the years, this concept of dressing up for Diwali has become a fashion statement. Women usually buy bright and glamorous Indian dresses for this 5-day-long festival.

In our busy modern lives, we get very few opportunity to wear Indian dresses. That is why, when it comes to Diwali nobody really wants to miss wearing fluttering silk sarees and pretty lehenga cholis. Moreover, as Diwali is the festival of lights, the glam quotient of the clothes is very high. There is no place for any drab clothes on this festive occasion.

With time, even Indian dresses have moved ahead from their usual patterns. The new and improvised kind of Indian outfits like the Lehenga saree are in vogue. This outfit is actually a lehenga but it is draped like a saree. Another style that has been resurrected from the past is the Anarkali suits. This is a Persian design for a kurta that is hot on the fashion meter now. These days, the full length Anarkali suit is increasingly becoming a trend.

Diwali celebrations are not so much fun without some celeb fashion tips. So you could take tips from the latest bride in Bollywood, Kareena Kapoor. Bebo wore a sharara for her wedding and you too could become quite the 'babe' by following her example in this festive season.

To help you make up your mind, here are some of the most fashionable Indian dresses that you could choose from. Dazzle your Diwali celebrations by being as bright as the diyas you light.
