Designer Varija Bajaj has paid ode to womanhood through her 'Pagdi' collection at the sixth edition of India Runway week here.

Bajaj said she had a lot of apprehensions before using traditional Indian headgear 'pagdi' as a theme as she feels that its wearing has a religious sanctity and it is a symbol of honour, respect and responsibility.

"There were lot of apprehensions and concerns but I knew I had to do this. For once ... it wasn't about making others happy but my own self," Bajaj said in a statement.

Bajaj showcased her collection at Thyagaraja Stadium here last weekend.
