Nita Ambani excuses elegance in traditional Kanchipuram silk saree
In pictures clicked during the dinner party, Mukesh Ambani was seen wearing a black suit, while Nita Ambani draped an elegant saree. Known for her preference for homegrown brands and Indian couture, Nita chose a custom-made saree by Manish Malhotra.
Nita Ambani graced the private reception draped in a traditional Kanchipuram silk saree by Swadesh. Designed with extensive research, the saree featured over 100 significant traditional motifs inspired by the spiritual and historical essence of Kanchipuram's grand temples. Adorned with 18th-century heritage Indian jewellery, she carried the soul of India to the global stage. The custom-made saree, woven by National Award-winning master artisan B. Krishnamoorthy, included intricate motifs like the Iruthalaipakshi (double-headed eagle symbolizing Lord Vishnu), Mayil (representing immortality and divinity), and the mythical Sorgavasal animal trails (embodying India's rich folklore).
Adding a contemporary touch, the saree was paired with a Manish Malhotra velvet blouse featuring a built-up neckline and intricate beadwork along the sleeve hem, epitomizing timeless sophistication. Complementing the ensemble was a 200-year-old rare Indian pendant crafted in Southern India – a parrot-shaped treasure encrusted with emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and pearls set in the gold Kundan technique with red and green enamel. Through this exquisite attire, Nita Ambani celebrated the eternal beauty of Indian traditions, honouring artisans and bringing global attention to their unparalleled craftsmanship.
