अश्मलेख (लिथोग्राफ़), विरलीकृत , होश उड़ा देनेवाले ड़िज़ाइनर कपड़े


Explanation:
I am not sure many people would be familiar with अश्मलेख . I would put a transliteration in the bracket. Again, for विरलीकृत, if my target audience was NRIs, I would substitute कम होतीं जा रहीं. I think the implication of designer knock-offs is designer clothes. Though, please correct me if it is not so.

agree  chaman4723: Pundoraji: why did you not think of the first meaning that is 'less dense' given as the first option in the same referrence. Less dense glass is through which light can pass easily-transparent. that is why the usage above.
4 hrs
  -> Because art galleries are of interest to a select group Chaman Sahab. So, it is better option than 'less dense.'
