Since I headcanon that Koto is a mesh of British and Indian culture, I wanted to draw Nuru in an outfit from India. Funny thing, though, the one I referenced is actually pretty similar to her canon outfit! Points for my headcanon!

Fun fact, though, I almost put her in a lahenga choli because it looked like a Princess outfit...it's a wedding dress. 🤦‍♀️ SO glad I double-checked on that! Save the lahenga for your wedding, missy!

Anyone know what an Indian princess DOES wear? My search is proving fruitless.

One time, in the enchanting city of Jaipur, India, I had a truly extraordinary experience. I was strolling down a bustling street, adorned with vibrant shops, when suddenly, a thunderous rumble filled the air. To my astonishment, a massive buffalo charged down the road, creating a commotion that seemed to stop time.

As chaos ensued, panic set in. People scattered in all directions, seeking refuge from the unexpected stampede. My heart raced as I searched for a place to find solace amidst the frenzy. It was in that moment of desperate uncertainty that fate intervened.

A beautiful Indian woman, her eyes twinkling with compassion, appeared out of the vibrant tapestry of the city. She grabbed my trembling hand and pulled me into her shop, a sanctuary of color and craftsmanship. The chaos outside became a mere whisper as the door closed behind us, leaving me in awe of her kindness.

Within the confines of her shop, adorned with breathtaking fabrics and glimmering ornaments, she revealed her secret talent. With a gentle smile, she offered to create a traditional embroidered lehenga, adorned with mesmerizing gold embroidery, exclusively for me. It was an offer I couldn't resist – a chance to own a piece of Jaipur's magic and create a lasting memory of my unforgettable encounter.

Days turned into nights as I watched her nimble hands bring my vision to life. The vibrant threads danced through the fabric, weaving an intricate tapestry that mirrored the city's rich heritage. Each stitch was a testament to her artistry, and every golden embellishment reflected the spirit of Jaipur itself.

Finally, the moment arrived when she unveiled my masterpiece. As I slipped into the custom embroidered lehenga, it embraced me like a second skin, enhancing my every curve and accentuating my inner radiance. The gold embroidery shimmered, catching the light and whispering tales of royalty and opulence.

Wearing my extraordinary creation, I stepped back onto the streets of Jaipur, feeling like a queen in her own kingdom. The world around me seemed to pause, as though paying tribute to the divine craftsmanship that adorned my being. I became a living testament to the magic that dwells within the city's streets, captured within the stitches of my purple lehenga.

Dear adventurer, let Jaipur weave its enchantment around you. Come, experience the essence of Jaipur, where magic awaits at every turn and dreams come alive through the hands of its artisans.

Behold the magnificence of this Anarkali Lehenga, a vision in captivating purple. This color, often associated with royalty and nobility, will envelop you in a cloak of elegance, enhancing your natural beauty. As you adorn yourself with this regal hue, prepare to be mesmerized by the way it complements your skin tone and brings out your inner radiance.

Emerald Spectacles from India, c. 1620-1660 CE: the lenses of these spectacles were cut from a single 300-carat emerald, and it was believed that they possessed mystical properties

These eyeglasses are also known by the name "Astaneh-e ferdaws," meaning "Gate of Paradise," based on the perception of the color green as a symbol for spiritual salvation/Paradise. This was a common belief in Mughal-era India, where the spectacles were made.

The lenses were crafted from two thin slices of the same emerald. Together, the lenses have a combined weight of about 27 carats, but given the precision, size, and shape of each lens, experts believe that the original emerald likely weighed in excess of 300 carats (more than sixty grams) before it was cleaved down in order to produce the lenses. The emerald was sourced from a mine in Muzo, Colombia, and it was then transported across the Atlantic by Spanish or Portuguese merchants.

Each lens is encircled by a series of rose-cut diamonds, which run along an ornate frame made of gold and silver. The diamond-studded frame was added in the 1890s, when the original prince-nez design was fitted with more modern frames.

The emerald eyeglasses have long been paired with a second set of spectacles, and they were almost certainly commissioned by the same patron. This second pair is known as Halqeh-e nur, or the "Halo of Light."

The Halo of Light features lenses that were made from slices of diamond. The diamond lenses were cleaved from a single stone, just like the emerald lenses, with the diamond itself being sourced from a mine in Southern India. It's estimated that the original, uncut diamond would have weighed about 200-300 carats, which would make it one of the largest uncut diamonds ever found.

These lenses are so clear and so smoothly cut that it sometimes looks like they're not even there

Both sets of spectacles date back to the mid-1600s, and it's generally believed that they were commissioned by a Mughal emperor or prince. The identity of that person is still a bit of a mystery, but it has been widely speculated that the patron was Shah Jahan -- the Mughal ruler who famously commissioned the Taj Mahal after the death of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Shah Jahan did rule as the Mughal emperor from about 1628 to 1658.

The emerald and diamond lenses may have been chosen for symbolic/cultural reasons, or they may have been chosen simply because they're pretty and extravagant; their meaning/purpose is unclear. Experts do believe that the eyeglasses were designed to be worn by someone, though.

It was believed that the spectacles had spiritual properties, like the ability to promote healing, ward off evil, impart wisdom, and bring the wearer closer to enlightenment. Those beliefs are often related to Indic and Islamic traditions, some of which ascribe spiritual and/or symbolic traits to emeralds and diamonds. Emeralds can be viewed as an emblem of Paradise, divine salvation, healing, cleansing, and eternal life; diamonds are similarly associated with enlightenment, wisdom, celestial light, and mysticism.

The Gate of Paradise and the Halo of Light were both kept in the collections of a wealthy Indian family until 1980, when they were sold to private collectors, before going on auction once again back in 2021. They were valued at about $2 million to $3.4 million per pair.
