New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting her historic 8th Union Budget on Saturday and did it in pure grace by choosing to wear a special off-white coloured saree in an ode to Bihar’s Madhubani art. Her attire grabbed attention as soon as she stepped out of her vehicle at the Finance Ministry at the North Block before presenting the Budget 2025 in Parliament.
For Budget 2025, she chose an elegant cream saree with a traditional gold border, paired with a contrasting red blouse. Her minimalist accessories, including gold bangles, a chain, and earrings, complemented the ensemble beautifully.

Nirmala Sitharaman’s saree, featuring a border adorned with a colourful Madhubani motif, is a striking tribute to India’s rich cultural heritage. Madhubani art, a traditional folk form from Bihar’s Mithila region, is known for its intricate geometric patterns, floral designs, and depictions of nature and mythology. Renowned for its vibrant colours and delicate lines, this art form carries deep symbolic significance.
