To bring Jayasri Burman's paintings to life, the lehenga’s 12 panels are hand-painted on special Italian canvas. Infused with Jayasri’s quintessential mythical aesthetic, the garment celebrates Anant Ambani’s union with Radhika through deeply meaningful imagery. The human figures representing the happy couple radiate a celestial aura that honors the divinity in their humanity. The fauna on the lehenga reflects Anant’s fondness for animals, particularly elephants, which are considered both auspicious and beautiful.

The craftsmanship of the lehenga is further enhanced by meticulous hand embroidery of real gold Zardozi. A glittering sea of sequins illuminates the most intricate spaces of Jayasri’s art. This stunning lehenga is paired with a blouse entirely hand-embroidered in Resham by master craftsmen at Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla.

The ensemble perfectly conveys the joy of new beginnings and the excitement of living with the love of your life. Commenting on the collaboration, Jayasri Burman said, “Abu and Sandeep are artists. The only difference is that their medium is couture while mine is canvas. Both Rhea and Abu Sandeep gave me total creative freedom and understood my essence as an artist. I found my brush dancing all over the canvas. My only hope now is that it inspires a smile on Radhika’s face and maybe someday, we’ll even see it hanging on her wall!”
