Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman wore a Kanjeevaram saree while presenting the Union Budget 2026–27, continuing her Budget-day clothing tradition. Over the years, her saree choices have drawn attention for reflecting Indian textile heritage and regional identity. Observers note that her outfits on Budget day often highlight handloom styles and specific states. This year’s Kanjeevaram saree is seen as a nod to Tamil Nadu’s well-known weaving tradition. Such attire choices have become a regular feature alongside the Budget presentation. The practice links cultural representation with a key national financial event without being part of the formal policy announcements. (PC: X)
