The Eternal Sari by @lakshmiunwomen is one of the most beautiful books to come out this year. I’ve already gifted any number of copies to friends because this is the kind of joy and storytelling that one feels compelled to share. What a celebration of this country and its magical heritage.

Ilkal sarees sketch out their origin from the state of Karnataka. Kasuti embroidery crafted on these accentuates their beauty and also garnered them fame. Motifs like elephants, palanquins, and lotuses are used in these.

Guntur Saree flourished in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Its name was inspired by the city of Guntur, situated towards the southeast region of Hyderabad. The awe-inspiring pattern and use of the finest cotton set its level and demand high.

The personalised letters sent by @narendramodi to eminent citizens of the world are so endearing. Each has a para that is uniquely crafted keeping the recipient’s personal history and contributions in mind. Whoever did the homework did a darn good job! #RepublicDay

[Sowmya Reddy Shamanna @ReddyShamanna]

@ShefVaidya @narendramodi Totally agree to this 😁👏🏽👏🏽

@joyopal How is that possible?

The Chitradurga district of Molakalmuru town is popular for its Molakalmuru Saree which is produced in silk. In the Kannada language, the term means ‘broken knees’. Its pattern and motif are inspired by elements of nature like leaves, flowers, trees, etc.

During my brief stop-over in Frankfurt, addressed women representatives from the Indian community as part of the #AzadikaAmritMahotsav celebrations. Appreciated contribution of Indian women achievers in their respective areas of work & preserving & promoting Indian culture.

@MeerraChopra How sad is this 😔 on one side we are trying to promote our dying culture of draping sarees before it becomes like the kimono and then we see people don't even want women to drape sarees
