What should I wear to come shopping?

Something easy to change in and out of — leggings, a fitted top, athleisure. You will likely try on several things, and it makes the visit much quicker. Flat shoes you can slip off help too, especially if you are trying saris. One heads-up on colour: Indian celebrations run brighter than most Western dress codes, so come open to emerald, magenta, mustard and gold rather than navy and black.

What do I wear as a non-Indian guest to an Indian wedding or event?

Choose a modest, colorful outfit — a sari, lehenga, salwar kameez, sharara, or gharara. For weddings, avoid white and black (mourning colors) and avoid red unless you are the bride. For Diwali or garba, brighter and bolder is welcome. Come in, tell us the event, and you are out the door in 20 minutes.

Do you carry red bridal lehengas?

Not many. Traditional bridal red, maroon and burgundy is not what we stock deeply. What we do have: bridal lehengas in plum, emerald, navy, ivory and gold, and sarees in red with unstitched blouses you can have made to any shape you want.

What's a reasonable budget for a wedding-guest outfit?

Most guests spend $150 to $250 on a complete outfit — sarees, salwar kameez and lehengas all sit in that range, with the simpler pieces at the lower end. Individually: sarees from $150, salwar kameez from $100, lehengas from $200. Kids outfits are $50 to $125. No pressure, no upselling.

How long does a fitting take?

Many customers walk out in 20 minutes, brides included. You come in with a problem, we solve it that day. We are an efficient in-and-out store, not a two-hour bridal appointment atelier. Made-to-measure wedding party orders are the exception — those are placed online and take about three months.

Do you carry kids' and menswear?

Yes to both. Kids outfits for boys and girls run $50 to $125, with most between $50 and $75. Menswear: kurta pajamas $75 to $125, sherwanis from $250, jodhpuri suits and Indo-western outfits $250 to $350, vests from $100, bridal stoles around $100, and shoes $75 to $100.

Can I buy just a dupatta, blouse, petticoat, or accessory on its own?

Yes — we sell almost everything a la carte. Petticoats are $15, sari falls are $3, and turban cloth (pagri) is about $3.50 a yard. We also sell dupattas, skirts, blouses ready to wear in a range of sizes, fabric for tailoring, artificial jewelry, bangles, tikkas, and other accessories. Come in whether you need a whole outfit or just one missing piece.

Where are you located and when are you open?

18507 Pioneer Boulevard, Artesia, California 90701 — in Little India. Free rear-lot parking. Open Tuesday through Sunday until 6:45 PM. Closed Mondays.

Do you ship or offer virtual fittings?

For everyday shopping we are an in-person store — the point of visiting is trying things on, and you can DM us on Instagram beforehand so we set options aside. Wedding parties are different: bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits are made to measure and ordered online through our order forms, with about three months of lead time.

How much do mens Indian outfits cost?

Kurta pajamas are $75 to $125. Sherwanis start at $250. Jodhpuri suits and Indo-western outfits are $250 to $350. Vests start at $100, bridal stoles are around $100, and mens shoes are $75 to $100. Come in and try things on — most men are dressed in about 20 minutes.

Can you dress my whole bridal party — bridesmaids and groomsmen?

Yes. Bridesmaids choose a pre-draped sari or a pant suit, $150 to $200 each. Groomsmen get a kurta pajama with a vest, or just the vest. Everything is made to measure in one colour picked from our 294-thread card, so the whole party matches. You order online through our wedding party order forms and we confirm every line with you before anything is made.

How far ahead do I need to order bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits?

About three months. These are made to order and come from our supplier in India, so we will not promise a wedding date we cannot hit. If your date is closer than that, come into the store — we carry saris, lehengas and menswear in stock and have dressed whole parties off the floor in an afternoon.

Where to Buy a Dupatta in Los Angeles & Orange County

September 13, 2026

There's one stretch of Pioneer Blvd in Artesia where the Indian clothing shopping happens — and if you need a dupatta, Loveleen Sari Palace is where you walk in and walk out with the right one. Plain dupattas, bridal dupattas, every color you can think of, all on the rack.

This guide covers what a dupatta actually is, the two kinds we carry, and how to pick the right one for your outfit. No appointment needed — walk-ins are welcome.

What Is a Dupatta?

A dupatta (sometimes called a chunni) is a long scarf-like piece of fabric worn with a salwar kameez, lehenga, anarkali, or gown — draped over the shoulders, across the chest, or over the head. It's the finishing piece: the same outfit looks completely different depending on the dupatta you pair it with. That's why people come in with a dress and leave with a dupatta that makes it look twice as expensive.

Bridal Dupattas — Around $100

Around $100. Bridal dupattas are a different thing entirely — heavier fabric, dense embroidery, gold zari work, beaded edges. These are the ones that go over the head at the wedding, the ones in all the photos. Gold, green, and red are the classics, and red is the one everyone asks for.

Got a Dress? Jazz It Up With a Dupatta

Here's the move most people don't think of: you don't need a new outfit. Bring in a plain dress or a suit you already own, and a dupatta dresses it up for the event — an embroidered one for a wedding, a matching plain one for a puja. The embroidered ones run $20–$100 depending on the work, and your old outfit looks new.

Which Dupatta for Which Occasion?

Bride — bridal dupatta. Heavily embroidered, around $100, in gold, green, or red.
Wedding guest — an embroidered dupatta over what you already own, or a plain one matched to your outfit.
Pujas and daytime events — plain dupatta, $10. Light, simple, done.
Matching an existing outfit — bring the outfit in. We'll match the closest color we have.

Plain Dupattas — $10

$10, in a bunch of colors. Our plain dupattas are the everyday workhorses — lightweight, simple, and easy to match. Bring your outfit in and we'll hold colors up against it until you find the one. Pink, red, turquoise, royal blue, green, black, white — if your outfit needs a color, we probably have the dupatta.
