Anant Ambani’s Bundi jacket was painted by ‘3 pichwai artists using 100 real gold leaves’

New Delhi, July 21: The Ambani wedding has been a lesson for fashion enthusiasts worldwide in terms of Indian artisanry and craftsmanship. From Bandhani to Kasheeda, Pichwai to Zardosi, the women of the Ambani family have left no stone unturned when it comes to donning embroidery techniques, not so surreptitiously throwing light on the rich heritage and handiwork of Indian weavers.

Having said that, the Ambani men weren’t any less spectacular. For his wedding ceremony, Anant Ambani looked regal in a red bespoke, hand-painted Bundi jacket 

by Manish Malhotra.

Adorned with gold vark and inspired by age-old pichwai paintings from the Nathdwara temple in Rajasthan, it depicted themes from Lord Krishna’s life, featuring motifs like lotuses, trees, cows, and peacocks.

Taking to Instagram, the designer shared, “Created by Bhilwara artisans over 600 hours and painted by three expert pichwai artists in 110 hours using 100 gold leaves, our exquisite sartorial ensemble serves as a profound testament to the skill and dedication inherent in traditional artistry.”

The mother of the groom Nita Ambani opted for a beautiful pink charbagh sari, adorned with intricate meena work in various colors and making use of rangkaat techniques.

However, what stood out for us was her purple blouse decorated with real gold varak work, specially made by Pichwai artist Shehzad Ali from Kishangarh in Rajasthan.
