Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is not only adored for her versatile acting skills, but she is also reigning supreme when it comes to style and fashion. Alia Bhatt’s red carpet looks are always the talk of the town and a visual treat for fashion enthusiasts, whether it’s her white gown at the Met Gala or her black dress with polka-dotted cut-outs for the Gucci show. Last year, Alia Bhatt also made headlines when she repeated her elegant wedding saree while taking home her first National Film Award for her powerful performance in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Alia Bhatt re-shared Ami Patel’s post and wrote, “100 hours of effort to make this pattachitra saree depicting the beautiful epic of Ramayana.”
This elegant traditional piece was adorned with intricate hand paintings of “important scenes from the Ramayana” as captioned by Alia Bhatt’s stylist Ami Patel, who is also the brainchild behind Madhurya Creations. These miniature paintings, which were done in traditional Pattachitra style, took a hundred hours to complete.
Alia Bhatt styled the saree with a matching blouse and a matching pashmina shawl from the clothing label Dusala. The Bollywood actress rounded off her ethnic avatar with a middle-parted low bun and a minimal makeup look.
She accessorised her outfit with a pair of gold earrings, gold bangles and matching potli bag. Alia Bhatt’s husband-actor Ranbir Kapoor chose an all-white traditional attire to complement her.
Apart from Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, celebrities such as Katrina Kaif, Vicky Kaushal, Madhuri Dixit, Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kangana Ranaut, and Jackie Shroff, attended the Ram Mandir Pran Pratishtha ceremony on Monday.
