When President Droupadi Murmu came wearing Mysore silk sari

President Droupadi Murmu was wearing the iconic silk sari that was exclusively weaved for her in one of the country’s oldest and illustrious silk factories in Mysuru that was founded during the regime of Mysuru kings, during her visit to Mysuru to inaugurate the famous Dasara festivities atop Chamundi hills on Monday.

Ms. Murmu was wearing the celebrated Mysore silk sari that was presented to her recently when the delegation from the Mysuru district administration went to the Rashtrapati Bhavan to formally invite her for the Dasara inauguration.
