A Garba Saree That Can Turn
Garba is a circle, not a portrait. A rani pink jacquard works when the pallu is pinned, the hem can swing, and the zari lies flat enough not to catch.

A garba photograph is taken in motion. The saree has to survive the turn, not only the first pose under the lights. Rani pink does the festive work at once. The drape decides whether you are still dancing on the fourth song.
Pin the pallu, free the hem
Bring the pallu across the body and pin it at the shoulder so both arms can lift. Leave the hem a little higher than a wedding drape, enough that the feet stay clear when you step into the circle. Narrow pleats hold better than wide ones once you start to turn.
Run a hand across the zari before you leave the house. If a thread lifts, it will catch someone else's dupatta. A jacquard with the metal woven in, rather than stuck on, is the safer night cloth. The Khushi jacquard is that family of pink: colour first, shine inside the weave.
Lights do the rest
String lights will find a metallic border without any extra sequin layer. Keep the blouse in the same pink, with a sleeve that does not twist. Try one full turn at home. If the pallu stays and the hem swings clear, the night is already solved.
