India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to create history by presenting her eighth consecutive budget today i.e., on February 1. Her budget day sarees have often become a point of conversation over the years, representing different Indian textiles and crafts.
This year, Sitharaman has opted for a cream handloom saree with gold borders, pairing it with a contrasting red blouse. The saree features a beautiful Madhubani motif.
