For Diwali celebrations, Radhika Merchant Ambani turned to Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla for a custom rose-pink tissue ensemble that shimmered like molten silk under the lights. The full-skirted anarkali featured a fitted bodice and collared base, overlaid with a structured angrakha-style jacket cut in gossamer-thin fabric with a subtle gold undertone.
Intricate marodi embroidery—one of the couturiers’ most recognisable signatures—traced the surface in raised gold zari threads, offset with glinting tamba tikki: hand-cut copper sequins scattered across the yoke, sleeves and hem.
The embroidery grew denser along the cuffs and borders, where layered bands of gota, zari and metallic fringe created a rhythmic, tactile edge.
Jewellery mirrored the garment’s grandeur: elaborate jhumka polki earrings with kaan chains, statement rings and her mangalsutra tipped with diamonds. Radhika Merchant Ambani’s hair was parted in the centre and swept into a low bun adorned with a gajra, while her makeup stayed luminous with clean skin and glossy lips.
