Listen to the story
Nita Ambani is a well-known businesswoman in India. She wore a special sari at a recent event. The sari is called an Ashavali sari. It comes from Gujarat, a state in India. People in Gujarat made this kind of sari for a very long time.
The sari was made by hand. This is called hand-weaving. It took five months to make. Hand-weaving takes a long time because people use their hands, not machines.
The sari shows Gujarat's textile heritage. Heritage means old things and traditions from the past. The sari's design comes from old Gujarati art.
Nita Ambani wore the sari at a party. The party was for Swadesh Eros. It was the first anniversary of Swadesh Eros. An anniversary is a special day each year.
Other famous people came to the party too. Ranveer Singh was there. Isha Ambani was there too. Isha is Nita Ambani's daughter.
Isha Ambani also wore a special outfit. She wore it for Navratri. Navratri is a big Indian festival. People wear colorful clothes during Navratri.
