Nirmala Sitharaman dons a Tussar Silk saree
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today arrived at the Finance Ministry wearing a blue coloured saree with a contrast cream coloured blouse and the saree had kantha works all over it and the material was Tussar silk. Tussar Silk is known for its textured feel compared to cultivated Bombyx or "mulberry" silk. However, it is less durable due to its shorter fibers. It has a muted, golden sheen.
Blue colour is called 'Ramar' in Tamil Nadu
A journalist took to her social media account and described the saree worn by Nirmala Sitharaman.

She tweeted, "The sarees chosen by @nsitharaman do tell a saree - Bengal kantha in mulberry silk.. colour is Ramar (Shri Ram) blue as it’s called in Tamil Nadu."
