Mumbai, Mrs Ambani graced the occasion in a Banarasi brocade saree, handwoven by master artisan Shri Iqbal Ahmad. This exquisite lavender weave celebrates the centuries-old craftsmanship of Varanasi. Its intricate design reflects the diversity of Indian artistry with barfi booti, koniya paisley motifs, and traditional zari work.
The Banarasi weave is one of the many regional art forms supported by Reliance Foundation’s SWADESH, our humble initiative to preserve and promote India’s traditional arts and crafts. Through Mrs Ambani’s recent appearances, she has paid tribute to our traditional artisans and the legacy that they have carried forward over generations.
