Kangana Ranaut’s Saree Looks: Actress’ Love Letters To Indian Textiles
Kanjeevaram: Designed by Gaurang Shah, the violet and ivory Kanjeevaram shimmered with intricate zari embroidery featuring temple-inspired motifs. The designer embellished the regal drape with dainty yet vibrant Mochi embroidery motifs. Mochi embroidery is a traditional craft from Kutch region of Gujarat. The embroidery is created using a hooked needle called an aari rather than a conventional sewing needle. (Image: Instagram/@kanganaranaut)
