Washington DC [US], January 20 : Ahead of US President-elect Donald Trump's swearing-in ceremony, Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani and Reliance Foundation founder and chairperson Nita Ambani attended the private reception in Washington on Sunday.
On Monday, new pictures of the two from the event were shared.For the event, the Reliance Industries Chairman wore a formal black suit which he paired with a white shirt and a tie with a subtle pattern.
Nita Ambani, on the other hand, looked elegant in a traditional Kanchipuram silk saree by Swadesh, designed with motifs inspired by the temples of Kanchipuram.
The custom-made saree, woven by National Award-winning master artisan B. Krishnamoorthy, featured intricate and meticulously chosen motifs like the Iruthalaipakshi (double-headed eagle symbolizing Lord Vishnu), Mayil (representing immortality and divinity), and the mythical Sorgavasal animal trails (embodying the charm of India's rich folklore).
Complementing this masterpiece was a 200-year-old rare Indian pendant crafted in Southern India - a parrot-shaped treasure encrusted with emeralds, rubies, diamonds, and pearls set in gold Kundan technique with red and green enamel.
