What is that one accessory which completes the desi ensemble for the South Asian woman?
Indeed, it is the glittery, shimmery chooriyaan!

On my recent visit to the city, I decided to take a stroll down the Choori Bazaar, only this time, I was looking for the artisans who create this beloved women’ accessory.
