Mumbai/Munich, March 26, 2026: When Mrs. Nita M. Ambani received her Honorary Doctorate at KIIT, Odisha, she paid a heartfelt tribute to the region’s timeless craftsmanship. For this special occasion, she chose an exquisite Ikat saree in earthy hues – honouring Odisha’s rich weaving heritage by wearing a creation crafted in the state itself by Swadesh weaver Shri Harishankar Meher. It took the master artisan two years to create this special saree.
Woven in the traditional bandha technique using natural dyes, the piece beautifully blends devotion with design. Its body features a Ram Shila-inspired mosaic, with “Ram” inscribed across multiple languages, symbolising the universality of faith. The pallu carries sacred mantras rendered in Odia script, seamlessly woven into classic ikat patterns.
More than attire, the saree is a celebration of tradition, spirituality, and storytelling – reflecting how textiles can carry within them the essence of culture, devotion, and timeless wisdom.
