From elegantly draped sarees to intricately embroidered lehengas, here are the best Deepavali outfits from the Tatler community

One of the best things about living in a multicultural country is that we get to experience and celebrate the diverse cultures that enrich our communities every festive season. And whilst the festive spreads we get to feast our hearts out on at open houses are undeniably the main highlight that we all look forward to each celebration, the stunning traditional ensembles we don for the festivities are equally a sumptuous feast for the eyes—and this Deepavali was no exception.
