Ramayan on silk, epic fashion storytelling

Alia Bhatt graced the Ram Mandir inauguration in Ayodhya with sheer elegance, donning a captivating Ramayan-themed silk saree by Madhurya. The beautiful Mysore silk saree, originating from Karnataka, boasted a hand-printed pallu that intricately narrated key moments from the Ramayana. The artwork included scenes like Rama breaking the Shiv dhanush and the golden deer episode, all encapsulated within a 4-inch pallu band.

Bharathy Harish, Head of Madhurya, shared the behind-the-scenes effort, revealing that two dedicated artists invested 10 days in crafting this custom masterpiece. The exclusive saree, a true labor of love, came with a price tag of around Rs 45,000. Alia’s choice not only showcased her impeccable style but also paid homage to the sacred occasion, making her presence at the Ram Mandir ceremony even more memorable.
