He wore a custom deep bordeaux velvet bandhgala set custom-designed by the designer for the global stage. According to Gaurva, the silhouette reinterprets the classic Indian high-collared jacket with black zardozi celtic knot embroidery. The kaarigari is a 'symbol of timeless connection and inner strength', reimagined through the lens of Indian craftsmanship.
