The timeless elegance of gota patti work is undeniable. As the festive season comes around, kurtas with this sparkly-but-lightweight embellishment are set to be your go-tos for events that don't need you to go the whole hog. Whether you searching for something to wear to Navratri celebrations or just want to update your Indian wear closet ahead of the wedding season, our edit of kurtas featuring gota patti work will serve you well. 

The combination of a bright-hued kurta, sharara pants and gota patti work won't fail on any occasion. For a high-shine look, consider getting your hands on Gopi Vaid’s lime yellow kurta covered with silver gota. If you’re inclined towards pastel hues, Nidhi Tholia’s blue kurta showcasing gota work on the neckline and the border of the dupatta is sure to find a fan in you. Long kurtas and sharara sets will always be a mainstay in a festive wardrobe, but if you're up for some experimentation this time around, look for a short kurta and flared pants like the ivory number by Varun Bahl. For the minimalists, Maayera Jaipur's salmon kurta set with gota work on dupatta and the hemline of pants is the clear winner.
