precious stones and metals to depict 11 of Raja Ravi Verma's popular  
paintings. Explicitly projected is 'Lady Musicians', one of the  
painter's very famous works that displays women belonging to diverse  
cultural backgrounds.

Besides, the border of the saree pictures 10 other paintings of the  
artist that pays tribute to 20th century artist.

intricately hand-woven and beautified with jewels of gold, diamond,  
platinum, silver, ruby, emerald, yellow sapphire, sapphire, cat's eye,  
topaz, pearl and corals.

66,794 cards during the weaving process. Moreover, a group of  
consummate workers took nearly 4,680 hours.
