So grateful — Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra) June 5, 2025 For her wedding, Mahua opted for a custom Parigul saree by Raw Mango. The pale pink Baranasi brocade saree was woven with silk and real zari, and it featured rani pink meenakari work on the trellis of flowers. The Baranasi silk brocade sari takes inspiration from archival weaves. Woven in the traditional Kadwa style, the 'jangla' design is created by weaving each motif individually using an extra weft technique, resulting in a reverse side free from floating threads. Talking about the saree, Raw Mango wrote, 'Seen here in the custom Parigul sari, parliamentarian Mahua Moitra during her private wedding celebrations in Berlin, Germany. The Varanasi silk brocade sari, woven with real zari and pale pink silk, draws from archival textiles and features a play of rani pink meenakari in the floral jaal. It is woven using the elaborate Kadwa technique in a 'jangla' pattern, where each motif is woven separately utilising an extra weft insertion, and the reverse of the textile reveals the absence of thread floats. She pairs it with the pale pink Gulshera blouse in silk satin." Styled with the Gulshera blouse in silk satin, the ensemble beautifully bridged classic elegance with contemporary heirloom appeal. Mahua enhanced the look with timeless gold jewellery – maang tikka, jhumkas, a choker, and a layered necklace. Her hair was adorned with a fragrant floral gajra. While Mahua stunned in pink, Pinaki chose a bespoke quilted bundi, crafted from handwoven silk in a soft shade of pale pink, bringing a refined, personalized touch to his ensemble.
