Deepika Padukone sported Karnataka emblem on sari for Italy Wedding

Much has been said about Deepika Padukone's sari at her wedding in Italy, which was assumed to have been designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s creation. But as it turns out, the designer has clarified that it was, in fact, a Bengaluru brand’s designer sari that she sported. And the makers of the sari are thrilled about the fact. K Radharaman, founder and head designer of Advaya from The House of Angadi, says, “The Konkani tradition demands that the mother chooses the sari that the bride wears during the wedding ceremony.Deepika was with her mother when the wedding sari was picked. The family has been our customer for many years. Deepika liked this particular sari, which is a limited-edition design. This Kanjeevaram real zari brocade sari with a broad border is also significant as it has the gandaberunda (the two-headed eagle that is the emblem of Karnataka state) motif in the body. The gandaberunda symbolises royalty and tradition in equal measure. The two heads also denote prosperity and wisdom, which is material and spiritual wealth. We are happy Deepika chose an appropriate design like this. During this shopping trip, she also picked another sari for her personal collection. We are proud that the Bengaluru girl wore a Bengaluru design for her wedding in Italy.”
