For accessories, Kangana wore a pair of gold-toned earrings and classic aviator-style sunglasses. The black-heeled ankle boots added a contemporary touch to her ethnic look and her black handbag added to the refined, polished vibe. With this flawless appearance, Kangana proves why she remains a fashionista, whose style game always inspires.

Considering she is known for her parliament sarees, Kangana took to her Instagram and shared more about the saree. She wrote, “I meet a lot of women who keep asking me about my parliamentary sarees. Honestly, I still keep discovering how much our nation has to offer us. I didn’t know anything about Bihari sarees. This saree is from Bihar and this is a Madhubani art work.”

For those who might not know, Madhubani art originated from the Mithila region of Bihar, India. That is why it is also referred to as Mithila painting. Known for its elaborate designs, bold hues, and symbolic motifs, the art form is created using natural colours and pigments on surfaces such as handmade paper, fabric, and walls.

Often these paintings depict mythological themes, elements of nature, and moments from daily life. Some of the most frequently used motifs include peacocks, fish, lotus flowers, and geometric patterns symbolising prosperity and fertility. The artwork employs the use of brushes, twigs, or fingers in a way that it fills the canvas with intricate detailing.
